Hi! My name is Siera Langsjoen, and I’m 14 years old. Next June, I’ve got the chance to go on an amazing trip to Europe with the Star of North Dakota—a music organization that brings together student musicians from across the state. I was nominated to be part of this experience, and I’ll be traveling with choir and band kids (I'll be in the choir) for 16 days through six countries: France, the U.K., Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Liechtenstein!

We’ll be performing and visiting some of the most incredible places in the world like Paris and London, which are places I’ve always dreamed of seeing. The trip costs $7,365, which covers travel, hotels, and all the big planned activities. But it doesn’t include everything, like travel insurance, lunches while we’re out exploring, and other extras, so any help really matters.

Since I’m only 14, getting a job that actually pays enough is super hard, so me and my family are doing everything we can to make this happen. Any amount you’re able to give would help so much and bring me closer to making this dream real.

Thanks for reading and for supporting me!
