I know what you're thinking, "wow there are people on this platform who need money to save lives and she is asking for a vacation". And yes if you look at the surface of what i'm asking for you will see its a trip. But under that trip is an experience to learn leadership skills that can last a lifetime. I have always been a very sky introverted person and I HATE it. I feel uncomfortable in large groups and I would rather stay home than go to a party. Because of this ya girl has no social life like no social life. This trip is Called Broadreach, it will take me on a boat for 21 days with a group of 12 people. If thats not out of my comfort zone I don't know what is. I know this is a lot to ask for and I understand that I have no real story to go behind me wanting to go. I like to think if every person who saw this donated 1 dollar thats it, then it would only take 1000 of us to raise the money. Thats 1000 people out of the billions of people who live in this world. Now I understand if you read over this all and decide that this is silly and selfish and that there are other things that are more important for your money to go to. I want this trip, I really do but I know that a million other people would say the same about their dreams. Putting my self out here is kinda scary because I have no Idea how people will react , that is if people really see this. As i'm typing this right now I am thinking about how stupid my small little story sounds, but I am also getting this bubbly feeling inside of me telling me that this might just work. I have faith in people, in god and in the possibility that I may not have to dream anymore!

I Know i didn't really give a lot of information on what it is that I want to do so I am leaving the link to the program here.
