Send me to Arts in Italy and Rome!

Hello! I'm Cecelia, a student working to complete her BFA in drawing and painting. I am requesting funds to go on a trip that would be very valuable arts career. I would have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see great works of art in person. I would also get a chance to experience the world outside of the US which I have not done yet. 

My theory is if everyone that I know donates the minimum $5 and shares this and at least one of their friends/family donates $5, I should be close to where I need to be. And if anyone donates a very large sum, I will paint you a painting at some future date!

(Update: I went to Italy and it was amazing! I am now trying to find a permanent workplace since I have now completed all my credits for my BFA)
