Hi Everyone!
A few days ago I submitted my full application to AFS! I am very excited but nervous at the same time. I also recently completed my in-home interview. It was so great to hear about the AFS experiences of my interviewer's family.
An update about what has been going on in my life:
The cross country season ended with the state meet today! I did not run as I am not one of the top seven runners on my team, but I traveled with the team to cheer them on. Now I have a few weeks to relax and focus on raising money for my tuition before indoor track starts on the 30th of this month.
I am so excited for indoor track to begin because that means that it is the start of my pole vaulting season. Pole vaulting is a passion of mine and it is going to be wonderful to begin training with my coach and teammates again.
The end of the quarter also just passed at my school. Grades closed yesterday and it is looking as though I have made honor roll with all my grades being above 85%! I have worked diligently all quarter to make honor roll and I am overjoyed that I have accomplished by goal.
Fundraising wise I have been trying to save all the money that I earn. The job that I had over the summer has now come completely to a close so I am looking for work and will hopefully find a job again soon. I would like to thank again the AFS Global Leaders Scholarship Committee for awarding me $750 in a merit scholarship to go towards my tuition. That contribution definitely made a huge impact on my money saving efforts.
With that, I will say goodbye for now. If you are reading this then I want to thank you. It means so much to me that you are taking the time to read my blog and I hope that you will continue to check back for updates about my AFS experience!
