Get Catherine to France

Donation protected
Hello my name is Catherine Pille.

I am a junior in High School with a dream to study in France. 

During the ending of last year I applied for the Global Navigator Scholarship with the CIEE Study Aboard program and after two months of waiting I received an email saying I got accepted to Rennes Honors language and culture in France!!!

I am very happy and thankful for this opportunity. This program is about a total of $7200 for a 4-week program which includes, classes to learn French, housing with a host family, 3 meals a day, support 24/7 and trips on the weekends to learn more about France and its culture. I have the pay the remaining $500, the round-trip airfare and transportation which adds up to around $2000.

During my stay there I will be staying with a host family that is also going to encourage me more to learn french in order to communicate with them. I will attend to classes in the morning and in the afternoon I will go along with the other students to talk to people who live there and ask them questions about the topic we learned that day. In the weekends they will take us out for a trip to explore different places around Rennes. This will be a life time changing experience because it will be my first time traveling out of the country. I am a little nervous about going on a plane but that’s the least that matters because it has been my dream to go to France. This trip will help me experience being away from home and learn how to be by myself to prepare for when I go to a University and major in Business.

In these months I will be working a part time job to save some money. But anything that you guys are able to help with I will be very grateful. This will help me make my dream come true to go to France. Thank you for reading this and getting to know my dream. Anything is appreciated. 

Thank you 
Catherine
