Hello! My name is Bella. I am graduating from Mt Greylock High School this spring, 2024. For as long as I can remember I have loved going to new places and taking myself out of the comfort of my home to learn and experience more. These feelings have lead me to many service and travel opportunities over the past five years. Through the youth program at my church and other service-based travel programs, I have traveled and experienced working with many different cultures. From traveling around the United States to California or Baltimore to going abroad to places like Morocco and Costa Rica I have been blessed with the opportunity to see so many different life styles, meet the most amazing people and experience things I will never forget.
I was introduced to ExperienceMission by a classmate while my college application process was underway, and I was trying to figure out what direction I was going to go in. Although I have always been so excited to go off to college, there was a fear that I wouldn't be able to continue my travels and service once I jumped back into school. After being shown ExperienceMission and what they do, it wasn't hard to realize this was the perfect opportunity for me.
This trip will not only allow me to do all the things I love, but it will help to grow my faith, and give me lifelong friends around the world. I could not be more overjoyed, this felt like the perfect next step for me.
