My name is Allita Watkins and I am a second year attending the University of California, Riverside.  I am working towards my degree in political science with a minor in business.
  I recently got offered an opportunity to study abroad at the London School of Economics this summer.  I am using this page to raise as much money as I can to pay my tution that is due in MARCH. Majority of this money will go towards paying for the tuition, room and board, and books; anything extra would go towards my plane ticket along with extra expenses that are included with the trip. Your donation would mean so much to me because I have never been outside of the U.S. and it has always been a dream of mine to go to Europe.          
 Academically, this would be a great opportunity for me because this will be my first time taking upper division politcal sciences courses. Taking political science courses in London would give me the necessary political exposure I need for my future career in the foreign policy field.
 I would be thankful for whatever you can donate, small amounts eventually add up :)
