Help Brianna study abroad Ireland

Hello everyone, my name is Brianna. I have wanted to study abroad and experience another culture nearly my whole life, but financial reasons have always been an issue for me as I do not come from a wealthy family. A few years ago the economic downturn hit my family hard and I had to leave college halfway through my second year. After working hard and barely making ends meet for 4 years, I have finally returned to college. I am the first generation in my family to go to college and will be the first in my family, including extended family, to study abroad as well. 

I am studying theatre arts with an emphasis in acting and am raising funds for a summer study abroad program in Ireland in June, 2015 where I can study Irish language and learn about Irish culture. This would be a dream come true; I would even be able to learn about my family's Irish roots. Not only that, but this will open my future even more.  I will learn how to work with people far different than me, who's cultural upbringings and personalities are different than the Oregon/American culture I have grown up in. My future for my career and personal developement will be greatly enhanced through this experience.

I have been saving up every penny I can for several months now and will continue to do so until I leave, as well as working and earning more money to set aside for the program. I could still use your help though and I appreciate the time you have taken to look this over. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!
