Hi! My name is Simbiat (though everyone calls me Sim) and I am a Freshman at Chicago Math and Science Academy. I've experienced a lot of firsts this year--my first full year as a teenager, my first time in high school, and I'm hoping to experience another first by traveling to NYC with my school's CYSP program. I think traveling is a great way to learn more about myself and become more independent and I'm excited to experience all that NYC has to offer.

Although I am only a Freshman, I have a lot of friends and family who are currently seniors and I would also love the opportunity to travel with them and make life lasting memories before they head off to college.

Please help me make these dreams come true and helping me bring my Freshman year to a wonderful end!
