Everything is moving along great, I submitted my application for a passport, so other than waiting for the approval only thing left to do is wait and pay of the balance of the trip. I was born in Germany because both parents were in the Army and stationed there, so this will be the first time I will be back in that area of the world since I came over to the U.S. when I was around 3.

During the last semester of school I took a class that studied the Holocaust from a sociological standpoint. As the second part of the class I will be leaving in June to go to Poland and the Chec. Republic to visit the camps and further study the Holocaust. I am extremely excited about the trip and the opportunity to study overseas.
