Hello everyone! My name is Hannah and I am a junior at Columbus State University! This summer I plan to study in Europe through CIS abroad. For 2.5 weeks I will venture across Europe starting in Barcelona then to Berlin and lastly London! I am a firm believer that the only way to learn anything is not within the walls of a class room but by actually practicing and immersing yourself in the subject. Hence the saying “practice makes perfect”. During these 2.5 weeks I will be exposed to three different cultures. I will learn their history while going on excursions and seeing where the historical event took place, definitely something you can’t get out of a text book. Two of these countries native languages are not English so I will be exposed and expected to pick up on both Spanish and German while I am in those countries. The reason why I chose this program in particular is because of the amount of personal and educational growth that I will gain during this experience! It is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. The total cost for the trip (flights, tuition, room and board) is $7,800. Luckily I have been able to save $3,000 of that myself! I started this GoFundMe fundraiser to help pay for the remaining $4,800. Help me be able to experience this once in a lifetime opportunity by sharing a donation of any amount, no gift is too small! Thanks to everyone for your consideration and donations towards helping me Study Abroad!!
