College Prep for DARIEN

Last year, I was selected to become a member of the National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS). This is a society that offers an abundance of programs designed to give insight into the best ways to prepare for college and future careers as well as broadening perspectives about the world. When they emailed me about this program, I realized what a tremendous opportunity this would be for me. In this program, I will have a chance to take interesting courses like Abnormal Psychology, that includes a trip to Sigmund Freud's home in London, Quantum Physics, Marine Biology, Finance, British Intelligence, and the list goes on! My first thought was that the program was too expensive for my parents, but then I started thinking of ways to raise the money myself. I came across this website, and thought this would be a great way to raise the funds that I need. This experience will help me better prepare myself for my college future by gaining knowledge from detailed lecturers and tours, and also learning just how to live on my own and integrate with a group of my peers.  Because I already had experience studying on my own and managing my own academic schedule, I really feel that my transition from high school to college will be enhanced by this experience. It would be great to mention my time in London and Paris to my college interviewers; I am sure it will ignite a great conversation during that process. I cannot stress enough how amazing this trip would be and I really hope you will support my goal. Thank you in advance for believing in me!
