People to People.

At the very beginning of the school year, I got a letter from a program called People to People.
For those of you who don't know, a little bit of background for you.
People to People is a program created by Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956, after World War II. He set up the program to promote understanding and peace and relationships between cultures and countries around the world. Students in the US are selected to travel to a country foreign to them.
So I recieve this letter and I attend the meeting, figuring that I had nothing to lose. To get into the program, you have to get three recomendation letters and attend an interview so they can get to know you.
I knew that I wouldn't be able to get in. I'm not interesting enough and my grades aren't very good and I have a very harsh and demanding personality.
Wouldn't you know it, I got a call last Monday saying that I made it into their Celtic Cultures program for next summer.
I am literally so excited at the opportunity to be able to go back to Europe. I loved it once and I know that I'll love it again.
