About
My name is Maggie Zhu, and I am a tenacious Junior at the Urban Assembly Institute of Math & Science for Young Women from Brooklyn, New York. In my free time, I love getting involved in local activism, strumming my guitar, shooting hoops on the basketball court, snapping creative photos, and engaging in STEM-related activities. I am also deeply inspired by my work with Seizing Every Opportunity (SEO), a non-profit organization, wherein I hone the skills necessary to succeed in college and beyond. Ultimately, I hope you can help fund my dream to study abroad in Paraguay this Summer as this opportunity will make me a stronger college applicant in the Fall.
What I’m Raising Money For
I have been an SEO scholar since 9th grade and I have recently been given the opportunity to study abroad this summer. The study abroad program will be a total of seven weeks. During my study abroad program, I will be living with a host family while immersing myself in what Paraguay offers along with having Spanish classes five days a week. On Saturdays, I will visit nearby markets and further immerse myself in Paraguayan culture. Through this program, I will be exposed to a new perspective of living life and in the long run a great experience. I will be granted the opportunity of a lifetime by learning Spanish and learning a new culture.
Why You Should Give
This study abroad opportunity is the perfect chance for me to step out of my comfort zone and become a better person overall. By lending your financial support, I will have the opportunity to experience something unforgettable. Since I am devoted to using what I have to help others, I will be able to use my improved Spanish skills to help an even larger audience. I would love to use my Spanish skills to participate in my community and incorporate it into my activism programs. Anything would be greatly appreciated!
