School... Europe Dreams....


This is me and my mom at Girls Camp 2009. Going into sophomore year...

AND... this is us at Girls Camp 2008. Going into Freshman year. Time flies....

Sophomore year has finally started. I'm loving my schedule! Having choir everyday is great! It's one of those classes that you can enter totally depressed, but by the time the bell rings, you can't stop laughing.

Here's my fantastic schedule:
Pre-Zero: Seminary
Zero Hour: Astronomy
Period 1: Algebra 2
Period 2: French 1
Period 3: Concert choir
Period 4: Show Choir a.k.a. the most amazing class eva!
Period 5: English Honors
Period 6: Biology Honors

School this year should be great! Every year for spring break, my French teacher hosts a trip to Europe for students. I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to go! But... the trip costs 2,600 dollars. The good news is that people can donate to me! The government has this amazing thing called "tax credit donations". If you don't know what they are, let me tell you.

All it is, is a fabulous form! It takes the money that you pay for taxes, and sends it to whoever you fill out the form to. So, for example, instead of your tax money going towards the car companies that are failing, you can send it to me so that I can use it on my trip! How amazing is that?! And the best part is that you get your money back! Don't ask me how it works... I don't know... but it's AMAZING! Each family can donate up to 400 dollars. You can either fill out the form I give you, or, if you live far away, you can go to their website.

I really need your help! (man, I feel like a commercial...) This trip is the dream of a lifetime. We'll be seeing France, London, Rome, Pisa, and many more areas. PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! If you would like to donate, please let me know so that I can get you a form (or the website). Remember, I need to earn 2,600 dollars!
