My Travel Story

My decision to study abroad was motivated by my love for traveling and my proclivity to seize opportunities. My decision to study in Athens, Greece, however, was made for less evident reasons. My mother and I have always had a close relationship, and we love to watch movies together. One of our favorite movies to watch, Mamma Mia, takes place along the shores of a small island in Greece. Some of my favorite childhood memories are when my mother and I would dance in our living room while singing ABBA songs, mimicking the actors on the screen. From the first time I saw the movie, I knew that I wanted to travel to Greece to experience the vibrancy of the country for myself. Since then, it has been a goal of mine to visit Greece and fulfill my dream, and with your help, I can do so! This is my chance to fulfill my dream and further my education.
