Hi! I'm Bailey and I feel honored to have been selected to attend the prestigious Washington Journalism & Media Conference (WJMC) at George Mason University in Washington, DC this summer. I have been invited to be a correspondent representing my high school and the state of Georgia. I've never been to DC and I am excited about the opportunity! I have been passionate about video editing since I was five years old and over the years, I taught myself how to edit using professional software. I look forward to attending the conference so I can learn more about the field of media and build leadership skills that I can take into my 2025-2026 senior year and beyond. The donated funds will assist me in covering the cost of the conference as well as travel expenses to DC. I am looking forward to learning and growing with my peers at the conference in July. I hope you can assist me on my journey and help me meet my fundraising goal. Thank you for helping me achieve my goal!
