Knotted Fibers

am a 15-year-old, high school freshman. I am writing to you about an extremely special opportunity. I have been selected to become a People to People Student Ambassador to Australia. Next summer, I will join a delegation of students my age on a 20-day educational program that will take us along the coast of Australia. Our curriculum will teach us about the history, culture, and people of the region. After all, there is no better way to learn about culture than to experience it firsthand, through home stays and school visits. We will be led by experienced teachers and engage in a wide variety of cultural encounters and adventures. We will be snorkeling the Coral Reef, escalating down a really tall wall, meet the locals, and learn a whole bunch more. If you would like more information on the program, visit www.peopletopeople.com. I am paying my way and raising money for the program. I have been babysitting, selling donuts and soap, and I even worked back stage in a play and earned $200. Would you be willing to help sponsor my trip? I help make the most of the items currently in this shop. I would be enormously grateful for your support. Thank You for your consideration."
