Poly Prep Argentina Exchange Ambassador

Dear Family and Friends,

During Spring Break 2013 (March 14 - March 29, 2013), my school will continue a 17-year old tradition of foreign exchange with its prestigious and bilingual sister school in Argentina, "Academia Arguello".  I've been taking honors Spanish for the last two years and was the only freshman selected to attend the trip, usually reserved for upperclassman. By attending school and living with a family in Argentina's 2nd largest city, Cordoba, I will practice my language skills and actively participate in the local culture and academic life of my host.  The Poly Ambassadors will begin our two week journey in metropolitan Buenos Aires.  Next, we will explore the country's natural wonders, such as Argentina's Patagonia which has a glacier and rarely seen landscapes.  Finally, we will head to Cordoba for our one-week stay with our host families and daily attendance at Academic Arguello.  My family will also be hosting an Argentinian student in the Fall of 2013.  

There is a significant expense to be able to serve as a Poly Ambassador.  All but $2500 of my trip has been secured by my parents.  Please consider supporting me to attend this life changing program.  This will help me get closer to my goal of becoming fluent in spanish.
