- Hello friends and blog followers! :)
- My name is Allyson Cousino and I have applied to study abroad with AFS for my junior year. At this point I am hoping and wishing I will be spending the year in Italy, learning a whole new language and culture. I hope to learn about myself and all that I can be through this program and immerse myself into a culture much different than my own. I hope to meet new people, make lifelong friends and have all new experiences. Some people are given the chance to go abroad for a few weeks and are incredibly lucky, I can't begin to imagine what a whole year in Europe will be like. Once I return home I will bring the Italian culture home with me and all my adventures included. Spending a year in Europe has many exciting aspects, but is also very expensive. I need help financing my AFS experience because with three siblings in college, my parents don't exactly have extra money hanging from their money tree. I would love to relieve a money burden of $5,000 from my parents' shoulders and I know I can't fulfill this alone. I would be ever grateful if you would help make my journey across the world possible. I have begun raising money for my journey by babysitting as much as possible and looking for open job opportunities. I have cut back on unnecessary expenses to make my dream a reality. Thank you so much for your time and your potential donation!
- Thank you again,
- Allyson

Allyson....I can't imagine a year without you. But our loss will be Italy's gain. You will grow, learn and love in your new home...your new, TEMPORARY home.
