May is a busy month for birthdays, at least in my family. These past couples of weeks have been birthday celebrations right after another including mine on Monday :] and last night was my cousins. One of my birthday presents was my trip to Europe that I told you in my last blog I would tell you more about, so here we go! In the beginning of this year, I got a letter from a student ambassadors group called People to People which was started by President Eisenhower in 1956. I had always gotten these letters in the past, but I ignored them until this year. The reason I decided to open the letter this year was because last summer, my friend Michelle went to Australia with this program and had a great time. Three of my friends had also gotten the same letter this year and I was convinced to go. The next step was convincing my parents to let me go to four different foreign countries without them. I still don’t know how it happened, but now I’m getting closer and closer everyday to traveling around the world with a great group of people including 2 of my best friends. I can’t wait to go to Italy, France, Switzerland, and Austria this summer and I’m grateful my parents are allowing me. I’ll keep you updated with my trip!
