Unique Experiences: This past year I was given the opportunity to travel to many places. During the spring I traveled to Big Pine Key, Florida where I spent a week snorkeling in the Florida Keys at a sea camp. Another unique experience has been my most recent trip to France, Germany, and Austria. I traveled with my dad to Europe in May 2002 to visit my sister who was studying abroad in France. While visiting my sister my dad and I toured Normandy, Paris, and Strasbourg, France. Also visited Munich and Dachau, Germany and also Salzburg, Austria. These two trips were a unique experience for me because not only was I having fun, but I was learning many things a long the way.

Future Plans: I have no yet decided on a college to attend after I graduate in 2003. However, I would like major in communications and study abroad for a semester while in college.

Why TNT: I applied to be a part of TNT because I love history and working with computers. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to learn more about the Underground Railroad and use my skill with computers to help others learn more also. Being apart of this program I have been given the opportunity to work with others to create a website that will be accessible to anyone in the world.
