Hi! My name is Paola Guerra, and I am a sophomore at Chicago Math and Science academy. This school year I was given a great opportunity to go to Europe during the summer of 2023. This opportunity was made possible through a mentorship opportunity called CYSP, which stands for Concept young scholarship. During this trip, I would be traveling around Germany, Netherlands, France, and Belgium. While traveling to these places, I will be studying and learning about historical sites and cultural events. I would have the opportunity to travel to places where diversity is a big thing. This will allow me to gain social skills as well as learn how to be independent.

To make this opportunity come to reality, I am kindly asking you if you can support me. The trip abroad cost 3,500 dollars. But I have to give a 1,000 dollar down payment by December 9th to secure my spot. I plan on creating more fundraisers for me to gain more money, but there is doubt that I can raise all this money myself. Any donations are very much appreciated. Thank you for taking the time in reading this and supporting me with any donations.
