Continue Funding for State Department Exchange Programs!

Hello everyone! As you know through following my blog, State Department Foreign exchange programs have added so much to my life, and provided me with many amazing new opportunities. These programs provide students with opportunities that wouldn't be possible otherwise.

Right now there's going to be a hearing for continuing to fund state department foreign exchange programs. The Senate State-Foreign Operations appropriations subcommittee will hold its first hearing on funding for these programs tomorrow (Thursday, April 18th).

If you could take a few minutes out of your day to message your congressional representative, it would mean SO much to me and all the students who partake in these programs.

Thank you so much!

     More good news! Today I found out that I am a semi-finalist for CBYX!!!! In my region 134 people applied and 64 students were chosen to move onto the semi-final stage. I will be hearing about my interview soon, and once the interview is over it will all be a matter of waiting. These next few months are full of finding out what the future holds for me, and I am looking forward to knowing with a surety how I will spend my first year after I graduate.Wish me luck!
