Here We Go!

I can hardly believe we're preparing for Year 3! In one week, Youth Trek is off to Chicago with 6 girls from Washington, DC. We've got a great trip planned thanks to amazing friends and partners throughout the country. Looking forward to taking this trip and adventure with Anna. More from the road soon...

Big trip!

On this trip to Chicago, I will feel a sense of nervousness. Not traveling with Youth Trek only because this is my first time! but this will be my first time on an airplane, going to another state without my parents by my side. I am sure this is just as difficult for them as it will be for me. I will soon overcome my nervousness knowing that my parents trust me and I am very responsible and independent. Once I arrive in Chicago, I will look forward to seeing the Sear's Tower and many other major buildings there. I am also looking forward to developing a deeper relationship with the other Youth Trek members.

Chicago, here we come!

No, this is not my first Youth Trek trip but, I am just as excited as my first time. We are going to Chi-town this time! How exciting? Here I come deep dish pizza and world famous Chicago dogs! Chicago is full of exciting things and people. It is the home of my President and one of the most economically stable cities in the United States. Hopefully, I can get a chance to meet more people who studied political science and or journalism because that is what I want to study. I am very interested to see the many new careers I have yet to discover. I am very, very excited for this trip and I cannot wait until Sunday!! Chicago, get ready for Youth Trek!

Sightseeing

I am really excited to attend another Youth Trek trip. I'm looking forward to experience the Shoreline sightseeing. Also I am excited to visit the Obama Campaign HQ. Those are some of the places that seem like a lot of fun. I can not wait for this experience.

One Week!

One of the many things I'm excited about is just traveling without my parent. I've never been to Chicago period and having the chance to experience it is just exciting in itself. Also since I am a Derrick Rose fan and he plays for the Chicago Bulls, I always wanted to go to Chicago. I'm also excited about eating there, I wonder what type of food they eat there and I'm determined to try a pizza place there since Chicago is known for their famous pizza.

Excited!

One of the things I'm excited about is going on the plane. I'm also excited about going to Chicago for the first time. I'm also looking forward to working with Ms. Jessica. I also look forward to going to the Chicago Children's Museum.

One Week to Go!

I'm excited to go to Chicago because on the first trip we just stopped at the airport now we are going to visit. It's going to be great! I'm looking forward to visiting Ms. Karen at the bank. I'm really excited to be visiting Rush University Medical Center. This will help me because I want to be an Obgyn.
