Attending NSLC International Diplomacy has literally changed my life. I made so many new friends, that i literally cried when it was our last day. NSLC International Diplomacy was such a fun and fantastic program that I cannot even express how great it was. From visiting the Russian Embassy, the U.S. State Department, World Bank, Jefferson Memorials, and walking with my new friends in historic Georgetown, it was truly an extraordinary experience. I felt confident, outspoken, and passionate throughout the program since I was in an environment in which everybody had the same passions and interests as me. The experience of being a diplomat during our exciting and intense security council simulations was just one piece of this amazing program. I am so pumped to go back to my Model United Nations Club next year and show them all the things I learned in the program. So many people were touched by my story and how I got to the program; I inspired many or my peers and they also inspired me because they were, like me, dedicated to International Relations. World Simulation, Trivia Night, and many more activities that i can not even list, were off the charts. I am just so blessed to have been a part of this program and grateful for all the people who helped to go there. Without you all, I would not be able to attend this program. Thank You Wishbone!!!!!!

I cannot find the words to express my gratitude towards my donors. Without your help, I would not be in a position to go NSLC International Diplomacy. This has been a blessing and has opened so many doors for me. This program will be a place with different nationalities together, talking about world issues. My dream is to become a diplomat for the United States, and hopefully to serve on a post in my countries of origin, Gabon, Cameroon, or Haiti.

This opportunity has made this dream possible, especially because I will also be visiting American University, a school that I am really interested in going to due to their program in International Service. School is out, and now all I have to do is relax and wait for my first day. I was in tears when I saw that I am going because of all you guys. You have really impacted my life so much, I promise to make you guys proud. Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Oliver, my mentor Paul Matson, my teachers, Norwalk NAACP Branch, My mother and my father, my donors, all of you have been so important in my life. I am very excited to attend this program, since it is my first time doing this. 9 days!!! Thank You Wishbone for being a solid program!!!
