Hello,
My name is Ashley Marie, though by now I mostly go by Marie.
I am a sophmore at Austin's Magnet high school, which essentially means I get three times the homework. Next year though, I am going for a semester abroad (September-January) in France. I am incredibly excited for this opportunity to really test myself, both in my language and just as an enormous social challenge.
Unfortunately for me, this experience is not free. Far from it, it is actually quite expensive. If anyone has any money to donate to help me realize my dreams, I can not express my thanks enough.
In future posts I will try to explain why traveling abroad (in highschool as an exchange student especially) is so important to me, how the process is going (I was officially accepted to the program over spring break), and hopefully notes of fundraisers I am trying to organize because guarding and babysitting aren't paying for all this (unfortunately).
Merci!
