Our Story
My little "big" Brother Cristian is a freshmen in High School, enjoys journalism, and he is interested in going to college. He is in the process of getting a better grasp of journalism and understanding exactly what it is. I am a Architecture Major at the University of Oklahoma and will be studying in Rome for the 2013 Spring Semester. I feel the best way to learn is through experience and seeing something with your own two eyes.
My Project
My younger brother was in amazement about my stories and experiences I had on my recent study abroad trip to Europe this past summer and shows much desire to do the same. He is a Freshmen in High School and has ambition to become a journalist. So My Project on his behalf is to get him to visit me when I am in Rome next Semester studying and help him write a journal about his experiences in Rome, about culture and new environments. He is a very smart kid and I feel that this would help him see the world in a different light and capture this imagination. At the moment he believes journalism only consist of Sport Center, so my goal is to open his mind to the world through first hand experiences. This journal is a great way for him to see that the world is full of many unique people and stories. He will talk to strangers, ask them questions about their lives, and not to mention in another language. This project will capture his mind at a young age and guide him for the rest of his life.
Your Funding
Your Funding will help with the airfare transportation to Rome for my younger Brother, a journal, small notepads, and other supplies for him. Your funding is key to the opportunity happening for my younger brother. I will already be in Rome due to student loans, when he is to come visit me during his spring break. Then we will both travel in Rome and around the area so he gets the full experiences given he has never been on a plane or abroad. So this will be for sure a eye opening experience for him and is future. He needs these funding and anything extra because other wise this project will not take place.
