Hello,

My name is Joseph. I am in my last year of middle school. Each year, the 8th graders are given the opportunity to attend the Annual 8th grade East Coast trip.

A little about me: I was born and raised in San Diego. My family is from New York. I was raised by my mom and grandma and am an only child. Since becoming a teenager, I've grown a lot. I am 13 and enjoy learning hands-on. I love to ride bikes with my friends, play video games, and am super into sports. I am very athletic, and when I put my mind to something, I make sure to achieve it. One of my goals in life is to become a professional athlete.

The trip is all-inclusive for one week, filled with different activities traveling on the East Coast, with opportunities to connect with our peers, participate in excursions, sightseeing, museums, and more.

By supporting me in reaching my goals for this trip, you'll help me have the experience of a lifetime with memorable traveling, new connections, and hands-on knowledge.

Thank you for taking the time to read and for supporting me in my last year as a middle schooler :) It sounds like a fun trip and will be cool to visit where my family is from and learn more.
