About

The travel abroad program is called ''EIL''which stands for The Experiment In International Living.This program gives students the opportunity to travel around the world and to use that experience to get an idea of what they envision themselves as in the future or to improve and build on the skills they have now that they can use in the future for their future careers.

What I’m Raising Money For

The EIL program has given me the chance to travel to Spain to study technology and Urban innovation.Fixing and studying technology has always been a hobby of mine as I am the technician in my family.Whether it fixing the TV, or replacing the screen on my moms phone or personally fixing my controllers for my console, I'm always so attracted to fixing as it has became my passion as I grew up. With this chance to go to Spain, I will not only get the chance to go and see a very exotic and tropical place,but I can finally get a chance to improve my skills as a mechanical and technical engineer.Also when I do attend Spain,I want to be out of my comfort zone since normally I don't really like to talk much or to really share my ideas,but I am still a very friendly person.I just hope that this program will not only help me expand on my engineering skills but to also improve the social skills that are necessary for me when I go to college or anytime I'm in a different environment.

Why You Should Give

I ask for you to donate because not many young individuals,like myself,don't get the chance to embark on this once in a lifetime opportunity.Before, I would always watched many Vlogs from Youtubers who went to many extravagant and jaw dropping countries and they come back knowing more and implementing those skills they learned from that country into their lives.I want to use this chance to do the same thing as well as have fun knowing that I'm enjoying my life.Also with this opportunity, I can get a chance to experience what its like to be independent as being in another country alone will make you more responsible for your own well-being.
