Studying Abroad in Italy
Donation protected
Ciao! My name is Makayla, and I'm on a special mission to study abroad in Italy this spring break.
With my birthday and the holidays nearing the corner, I am wishing for a special kind of gift this year: the gift of learning.
The Educational Opportunity:
I've been accepted into a study abroad program through Montana State University that aligns perfectly with my academic and personal interests. This program offers courses in Elementary Education that will not only expand my knowledge but also provide a global perspective on my studies. We will be visiting multiple cities across Italy, including Pompeii, Rome, Florence and Siena. Along with learning about the rich historical culture of these cities, we will also be visiting Montessori schools and working with students within these schools. The professors and resources available are of the best, and I am beyond excited to embark on this adventure.
Why I Need Your Support:
While it is typically not in my nature to ask others for things, studying abroad, while offering an enriching education, comes with its fair share of expenses – tuition, housing, travel, and daily living costs. The estimated cost for this opportunity is roughly $4,000. Unfortunately, the financial burden of this endeavor is substantial, and I can't do it alone. This is where your generosity and support come into play. By contributing to this campaign, you're not only helping me achieve my academic goals but also allowing me to share my experiences with you and my future students.
How You Can Help:
Every contribution, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to my goal of $1,500. Here are some ways you can support my Italian study-abroad adventure:
- Donations: Your monetary contributions will directly cover tuition fees, accommodation, and other essential expenses.
- Words of Encouragement: Your words of encouragement and moral support mean the world to me. Leave a message to show your support and motivate me on this journey.
What You'll Receive in Return:
I believe in giving back, and your support won't go unnoticed. I plan to keep you updated on my adventures through posts, photos, and videos. And, as a token of my appreciation, I will send you:
- Personalized postcards from Italy
- A handwritten thank-you note with a slice of Italy (a small Italian souvenir)
Conclusion:
Studying abroad in Italy is not just a travel opportunity, but a journey that will help me grow academically, culturally, and as an individual. With your support, I can learn new ways to approach the education system and create memories that will last a lifetime. Please consider contributing to my campaign and joining me on this incredible adventure.
Grazie mille for your support!
