Hi! My name is Ahmad Saeed. I am a 16 year old Student in Chicago, IL looking to study abroad this summer (2011) in the country of Costa Rica!I am very excited to be able to have this experience soon. I am a member of The Kappa Leadership Institute of Chicago (Kappa League Chicago) http://www.kappaleaguechicago.org/index.html and they have made this journey all possible for me with the AFS program. http://afs.org/afs_or/home
When I first learned about this opportunity I was blown away. I never thought that I would ever study abroad as a high-school student. I will be living with a host family for 6-8 weeks and will be fully emerged into the Costa Rican culture. I hope to really get to learn the language and really grow as person while living on my own. I am on my way towards reaching my monetary goal for this amazing trip, however I will need your help! I must fundraise to help finish paying for my tuition and the necessary funds for living in Costa Rica.
I have applied for a scholarship that sends students from the Chicago Area on study abroad programs like (AFS). However, I am still waiting for my response. If I am successful in receiving the scholarship and fundraising money here, I will be able to have a successful trip. My initial goal is $1,500.
