My name is Lizzy Reagles and I hope to be going to high school in Japan soon! I would be participating in a study abroad program in Japan where I will live with a host family and go to a local high school. It is a total emersion program so all classes will be taught in Japanese. To be able to participate in this trip would really be a once in a life time opportunity.
I have won two scholarships for this program already. The Global Leaders Need-Baded Scholarship and the Western Carolinas Scholarship. With the scholarships I have been able to cover $5,000 of my tuition, which leaves $9,000 left to cover. I am currently putting together different fundraising efforts to help pay for the tuition. Because the amount left to cover is still a large amount I am asking for help from the community. Every little bit helps! I have joined the AFS Sponsor an AFSer program, which allows my friends and family to made secure non tax-deductible donations through my blog. Every donation goes directly to my AFS program tuition. No amount is too small--I know that times are tough, but every little bit will help me get a little bit closer to my goal.
Thank you so much for reading this, and I would greatly appreciate it if you could forward this message to anyone else who you think might be interested in sponsoring my AFS experience.Keep checking back here to read more about me and keep up with my adventures once I actually get to Japan!
