So.. I just got an email from AFS, and it said "We will start reviewing submitted applications in late January" Oh my goodness.. That is a REALLY long way away. But I can do it. It will be worth it! But still... It will be tough to wait so long to know if this is a reality. But you know what they say: a watched pot never boils, so I think I need a distraction from this for a little while.
ALSO, I got an email from AFS yesterday, and received 200$, for a family award scholarship! It absolutely made my night. So that means that I have $3,350.00 left to raise for myself! (My parents agreed to pay half, just in case I hadn't mentioned that before) I now have $3,400.00 dollars that I have raised through babysitting, birthdays, and Christmases. So, I am a little more than half way done with raising money!! And I can't help but smile when I think of that! THANK YOU AFS FAMILY AWARDS SCHOLARSHIP! If anyone, and that means anyone, wants to donate, anything helps. Even 1 or 2 dollars would help, so please sponsor my dream, and help me make it a reality!(: And I have been trying to figure out some possible fundraisers, so if you have any ideas, let me know by commenting below, or emailing me at rachiiramsey@hotmail.com. Grazie
This isn't really the longest post, but I thought that I would let you know my GOOD news, and my....application news. And I am so happy that this program exists, because I have already connected with so many people, that I wouldn't have ever talked to without AFS(:
Arrivederci-

Oh my gosh! I got that email too! I cried a little inside when it said they wouldn't review applications till late January(: but that's amazing you have that much raised! good job(:
ReplyDeleteAhh I was freaking out... and then... disappointment. That seems to happen a lot, because it seems like they have been sending more emails out about unimportant(at least for me) stuff lately. Thank you(: It is both money that I had planned to put towards a car, and money that I just had saved, but I am not buying a car because I would rather go to Italy(:
