My name is Jamaica Kalika and I am currently a sophomore at Albany High School in the Bay Area. Since 7th grade I have been learning as much as I can about my interests through volunteer opportunities, internships, community organizations, and community college classes. Currently skating, art, African-American history, literature and social justice are my top interests and for me film is a way to connect all of my interests!
Last summer I was fortunate enough to have a summer internship at the San Francisco Skate Club which inspired me to really pursue my hobbies and interests. When I heard that my school offered a Summer Abroad Program, I jumped at the opportunity to go to Spain and study film making. My film class hooked me on the idea of producing a film start to finish. This is a chance to study film and documentary in a country with scenery that has inspired much of my cinematography interest! This program will develop my skills and improve upon my abilities to make projects that can inform others- something I'm passionate about.
Besides the amazing education, I will be able to form relationships with a host family and other peers in the program that will last beyond my stay. It will be a travel experience I will never forget, where I can use and practice the language I have been studying for years, and immerse myself in different culture. I am unbelievably excited to share this adventure with my community, friends, and family, but I still need to the gather the funds for my tuition, airfare, passport, etc before June. This is the chance of a lifetime and hope that you will help me make it a reality.
