Hello, my name is Kendyll Cole. Never did I imagine as a freshman learning Mandarin that I would be given the opportunity to go to Beijing, China for three weeks during the summer of my junior year of high school. Yet, just a few weeks ago I was awarded with a full scholarship for an environmental program that will focus on building a sustainable mega city in Beijing. Though it's a dream come true and I look forward to the challenge, I need your help to get there! Within the next couple of weeks I need to buy a round trip airline ticket from Chicago to Beijing, China. I also will have to obtain a visa to accompany my passport. and some living expenses as I help to make the world a better place. Having a 5.2 G.P.A. and a burning  passion to help change the world has taught me that hard work pays off; however,  any extra help along the way would really mean the world to me. Thanks!
