Hi, I’m Karley, a student looking forward to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take a trip to Italy and study abroad.

Italy has been a dream of mine since I was about ten years old. I have never left my home state before, much less the country, but when I saw this opportunity, I knew I could not pass this up.

My mom and I used to plan out our trip together, but she got sick and passed away due to cancer. This trip is more than a learning experience; it's my way of honoring my mother.
