"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step"- Gandhi

I started this journey of trying to get to Europe with nothing but the hopes and dreams of one day being able to go. The journey I am going to take to Italy this summer is about 6,000 miles and 3,000 air miles, and my first step was to apply for the trip and now I will be on my way. My only problem is that I have $800 more by the 30th of this month, it sounds impossible, at the beginning of this journey almost everyone thought it would be impossible for me to even get this far, but obviously nothing is impossible if you just believe. I know that with the love, support, and prayers of my friends and family I will be able to make this dream a reality. I thank everyone who has supported me this far and I know that without these wonderful people in my life I wouldn't have even got this far. I thank God for not only blessing me with this dream-fulfilling opportunity but also for the people he has blessed my life with.
