about my venture

Hi, my name is Maya, and I was recently invited to become a People to People Student Ambassador! People to People is an organization that helps students, educators, and professionals learn and understand more about the different cultures and people that live around the world. The Ambassador programs offer members unique and eye-opening experiences that impact the way you think about those in your community, country, and world! To learn more about People to People, go to https://www.peopletopeople.com/Pages/default.aspx

Though there are many reasons why I want to go on the European Odyssey 2012 trip, there is one rather important one. To go on this trip means to finally see what I've been taught about for so many years. It means that I can go beyond the boundaries my history book has given me, and experience the world firsthand. That experience would be invaluable to me, especially in my future. I want to be a Senator, maybe even President! To learn and understand more about those who share this world with me would give me what I need to prepare for a job which enables me to work together with them, and make a better world for everyone.

I believe my project is special because the money I'm raising is not for a new business or product, but because it's for a once in a lifetime chance of expanding my knowledge and understanding about thw world, and break away from the boundaries both my family's financial status and my history book have given me.
