I'm going to start out my blog by introducing myself and telling you a little about me!
My name's Maeve and I'm fifteen years old. I'm currently a sophomore in high school. I love music and have participated in many musicals: Grease, Beauty and the Beast, the Music Man, and most currently, Assassins. I also love anything related to art. I write, paint (just for fun :), I'm not great at it), and play piano. I also ski, play volleyball, and run.
I found out about the AFS program after talking with my dad's girlfriend, Sarah, about her experience. She went to Sweden in her junior year of high school, which is what I'm hoping to do, but I want to go to Italy! I went on the AFS website and immediately fell in love with the idea of living on my own in a different country. I was so excited, I hurried to ask my parents if I could go. Initially, they said no, but after several months of begging and a really persuasive presentation they agreed!
So now I'm stuck with a $13,750 tuition. I have a ton of ideas for raising money, including the donation widget. The donation widget is a super safe and easy way to contribute to my fundraising efforts! All the money that's donated through the widget will go straight to my tuition account aaaaaand it's non tax-deductible. Any help would be appreciated but if you can't, just sharing my blog with friends and family would be amazing.
I'll try to post updates as much as I can.
Thank you so much!
