Hello world! My name is Stephanie Choe and I am 19 years old. I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I just finished my first year of college over at Penn State Abington. For the past couple of months my heart has been set out on a full-year program over at Next Generation Academy in California. After I discovered this program, I knew that this is something I really want to do with my life. After the long, tedious process of me gathering all of the information I need for my application, along with writing essays, reaching out to former professors for letters of recommendation, and going through an interview process, I just found out that I have been ACCEPTED into the program! The program is scheduled to being on September 28, 2014.
But first, allow me to inform you a little bit about Next Generation Academy. It consists a full-year program that enables young, lost teenagers to transform into a new generation of young leaders. It includes 10 months of intense training, unbeatable support and an all-in-all unforgettable experience. "The first trimester is focused on breaking down our own internal barriers; opening the opportunity to step into who we're truly capable of becoming. This time is devoted to a number of workshops and training exercises to help participants dig deep within themselves to find new sources of strength and internal fortitude, develop stronger bonds of communication and connection, and gain the practical and technical skills of project development and delivery. During this time, participants are also developing their future Momentum presentations and International Service Project.
The first trimester also includes occasional fundraising campaigns to help develop public speaking, confidence, and sales experience. Participants set personal and team goals, learn to communicate value, and work hard (very hard) to support their service work. After the intensive training of the first trimester, participants now step up and each take on leadership roles within the program. Fundraising campaigns will now be led by a participant as opposed to a member of our staff. Workshops will now be designed, coordinated, and carried out by those who just a couple months earlier, served as attendees. After collectively planning and developing an international service project, small groups of 3 or 4 will go to Africa to serve in various countries, implementing the programs that they have created." I have provided the link below that gives you all of the information about this program!

As a young adult, still trying to find myself, I would like to join this program to not only learn about the world but about myself. Unfortunately due to my financial circumstances, I'm unable to acquire the amount needed for this program. I have only a couple of months to gather all of the money I need for this program. If you guys can please support me in my endeavor, it would be greatly appreciated! Every dollar counts! Please help me fulfill my dreams, thank you!
