Bonjour! My name is Grace Mahoney.

I'll start off by introducing myself. Currently, I am 15 years old and a sophomore in high school. I am involved in various clubs and sports with my school, including Track, Cross Country, Indoor Track, Y.E.A., advanced classes, and a number of other activities. Also, I have great grades, which consist of mostly A's, but a B thrown onto my report cards every now and then. As typical as it may sound, I love everything French. The language, the people, the architecture, the music, and the customs. Therefore, in the spring of 2012, I hope to be overseas in France beginning my adventure abroad.

Going to France has been my most passionate dream ever since I was little. The fashion statements from Paris, the gorgeous beaches in Nice, and the language of France itself- French. How could one dream of traveling elsewhere, when France beholds all the luxury, beauty, and elegance they could imagine?

So, for a whole semester, I will be testing my French knowledge while challenging myself beyond anything I've experienced before. Yet, it will all pay off as I gain fluency and learn the culture and customs of France. Upon my return, I plan to go to college and major in French. After, I will find a job using this incredible language. And, as we all know, foreign exchange isn't cheap. So, if you would like to help me achieve my dream to live and study abroad in France, please donate any amount of money to my site! All donations will be used solely for my trip to France!
