Study Abroad Fundraiser Alert!
Hey friends and family!
Ella Templeton here with an update on what’s going on since we moved from Louisiana to Pennsylvania. I am currently a sophomore studying Plant Sciences at Penn State University, University Park Campus.
The big news: This Spring 2025 I have been accepted to participate in the CIEE Alicante Spain Language and Culture Semester Abroad! ✈️
My learning goals for education abroad are both personal and academic. 1) I am interested in an experience that will lead to personal growth and self-discovery, and 2) I am interested in experiencing different styles of education and academic worldviews. I am especially interested in the Sustainable Food Systems course which visits the Cel y Sòl Farm to learn more about agriculture in Spain, and how it compares with the US. As I encounter new cultures and academia, I will have opportunities to see the world differently. As I navigate my new environment, my self-confidence will increase and I will have the opportunity to see myself differently.
I have already raised over half of my projected expenses through grants and scholarships. To fund this adventure, I’m aiming to raise $4,000 to cover the remainder of the expenses.
Your support means the world to me! Whether it’s a small contribution or a shoutout on your social media, every bit counts. ❤️
How you can help:
1. Spread the word: Share this post and tag anyone who might want to support my journey.
2. Encourage others: Let’s make this long time wish come true together! A contribution would be the perfect Christmas gift by the way
