I'm Walter Tracinski. I just graduated high school, and in the fall I'll be studying history in the Joint Degree Program at the College of William & Mary in Virginia and the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. I'm studying military history and international relations. I intend to become an academic historian, helping us better understand the fight for freedom around the world today. The purpose of this GoFundMe is to raise money to help cover tuition, travel, and books--lots of books--particularly since I will be going on to graduate school, so I'll need to be prepared to be a student for a long time.
