Hi, my name is Treasure Bailiff and I go to this amazing school called Joe  Michell. We are an I.B. school that has offered 10 7th grade students to go to Germany for a trip of a life time. In the beginning, 39 students applied, 13 were interviewed and 9 were chosen. I have earned one of these spots by getting  the teachers and principals recomnendation, writing a report on why I think I should go, good grades and having a good attitude.  During the interview process, we were asked several questions from three teachers and the vice principal and principal. They told me I gave excellent response and several times I have been told that I would represent Joe Michell very well. I have gotten principles honor roll 4 times in a row. I come to school at 7:30 every morning for a violin class that was optional to take, why I do is because I enjoy learning about music, and to play an instrument. A little bit about me is that my family and I foster dogs that are unwanted in the shelter, and we take care of them until we find them a forever home. We currently have six of them living in our household. Other activities I do are dance, art, and volleyball. About a year ago, I took up the art of twisting balloons to earn a little side money. My mom and I do birthday parties together. She is an amazing face painter. The picture above is just one of my favorite designs I can make.  Ever since I was  a little girl I have been fascinated with Germany. I want to learn german, move to Germany, and one of my favorite movies is The Sound of Music. To be able to go on this trip of a lifetime, would be a dream come true.
During the trip we will be staying with another family, and going to school with the student in the family. Also, during the two weeks we are there we will be touring Berlin, Bradenburg Gate, and several historical sites in Dresden and Heidelberg. I heard this is an amazing country and I would like to experience everything the  culture has to offer first hand.

The money you would donate to my goal of helping  me go to Germany would cover the plane and train tickets.  This program was established by Mr. Fulbright in 1945 to help students travel abroad in an educational and cultural exchange program.
Any donations to help me reach my goal are highly appreciated.
