ok so a couple of weeks ago I got a letter congratulating me on having outstanding academic achievement and I had qualified for nomination of the National Society of High School Scholars (oooooo. . . O.o) then a little farther down it said . .Nomination confirms your superior academic status. you will receive you invitation in the next seven to ten days. okay .. .so I really thought nothing of this but today I got something that totally freaked me out . .

Today I got a very large envelope with my name scripted on the front . . inside was and information packet a form for me to fill out and a letter explaining to me that I had won a trip to Washington D.C. .. and I was going to meet senators and stuff
. . . This is very cool . . but there is only one problem . . It cost money and my family is soo broke right now we have trouble paying bills and stuff . . . so we don't have the money and I would love to go . . .

So I know this is kind of odd for me to do but I am asking you all for help
All I ask is that if you have a little extra money lying around and you have no use for it please . . I need this . . I love to travel and this is a once in a life time opportunity for me and I don't want to pass it up

the trip will cost me $2,185 dollars . . so if you would like to help me please respond to me in this journal and I will give you my email address and we can talk about the details . . thank you . . all of you so very much . .
