I still can’t believe that I was one of the students selected for this trip. On the day of the last interview I was so nervous. I had no idea what to expect. I felt a lot better once I saw the other finalist. It was so funny because when they told us that we were the students chosen to go to Poland, Adrianna and I didnt realize what they were saying. So we just kept clapping with everyone else. It wasn’t until everyone started standing up and hugging each other that we realized what was happening! I just about started crying. This means so much to me. As I was growing up, my favorite subject was always the Holocaust. I could never believe how so many people could be killed like that. So when I found out that we had the opportunity to win a trip to visit this concentration camp, I was so excited. When I found out I won the trip…I went crazy! I mean, I’m not the type of person that could just pick up and go any where in the world. This probably might be the only time I get to go out of the country. I’m so excited! Oh and the other people that are also going on the trip are absolutely wonderful! I’m really looking forward to getting to know them. Next semester is going to be busy…but I am sure I’m going to love every single minute of it!
