About
My name is Taha Waseem and I'm currently a junior at the High School of Computers and Technology. I am a track athlete with an eager curiosity to learn. With the help of taking college classes at Lehman College, I have learned the life there and the adaptability required for these rigorous classes. I have always been interested in learning another tradition and to be provided with such an opportunity is life changing and will be holistically transformative to me.
What I’m Raising Money For
The money raised will help support my participation in an Enrichment Program to Spain with the help of SEO and AFS and to you all. Since I've never been to Europe, I want to try out the new language and culture it has to offer. By me getting the opportunity to travel to Spain not only will I bring back its culture to share with others, but I will be increasing my own knowledge in an inexperienced tradition. I've always wanted to learn Spanish and since its United States second most spoken language I should study it more. A part of my dream relates to working with refugees; moreover, I want to be able to share happiness with them so that it will help lighten their mood and feel as though some burden has been lifted off their shoulders. Additionally, going to Spain will help be attain wisdom I thought would be impossible to embark upon.
Why You Should Give
Enrichment programs are a chance for us to leave our comfort zone, and ultimately help build confidence, independence, and college-readiness. By lending your financial support, I will have access to the experience of a lifetime! Not only will the money raised help me, but also my peers and help fulfill their aspirations. Your donation will help me bring one step closer to learning Spanish and working with refugee kids. These kids have been through a lot of pain and they should definitely feel some closure.
