I have about two days to go before I head off to Loyola. This is something that I have been looking forward to since I was accepted. Having this opportunity is great for me because this will show me how it feels to be an adult. This program will show me what it's like to live on my own and how to take care of myself. I will have to get myself up, ready, and make sure I'm on time everyday. I won't have anyone there to tell what to do. This experience will help me develop many helpful skills. I'll be sure to post frequently.

Hey all! Our names are Raquel Anderson and Neosha Hampton. We've been accepted to the Loyola Precollege Summer Program, and are looking forward to six weeks of new and exciting classes in the heart of Chicago. However, our scholarships do not cover all expenses of attending, so we need your help to fundraise the remaining $10,000. So make sure to follow our blog for frequent updates as we take in the experience and thank you for making it a reality!

The Journey!
Hey!
"I'm so excited," is the statement that constantly replays in my head. I can't possibly describe how I feel without those three words. This is an amazing opportunity and I am grateful to have so many people rooting for me and I would like to say thanks. It's going to be fun because it's learning and meeting new people in a different environment. I've participated in similar programs but they have all been within the state of Wisconsin and not very far from Milwaukee. They also lasted a couple days so this is new to me. I will be sure to take a lot of pictures and blog about everything but I'm ready for the journey. Wish me luck!
