The Trip of a Lifetime

My name is Mario Aleman, I am a sophmore at Cross Keys High School and I'm starting this gofundme because I was nominated to go to a congress. A couple weeks ago I recieved a letter from the Science and Technology Congress, held in Boston, MA. This nomination is very special to me. It could give me the opportunity of meeting great inventors and technology superstars, and possibly the chance to get an internship. It could also be of great use when I apply to universities and colleges, and if I'm accepted to any, I will be the first in my family to obtain higher education. This trip will also bring me a step closer in accomplishing my dreams of becoming a software engineer and video game developer. Sadly, this event and trip are not free, but with your help I could reduce it to an affordable cost. I am a part of the free/reduced lunch because of my family's income, and would certainly appreciate the help. The money deadline for me to turn in the money for the congress is Feburary 9th, which gives me about less than a month to pay. Once again, I would heavily appreciate all the help I can get. Thank You!
