My First Blog Ever


My name is Lydia Krembs and I'm a senior in high school in the tiny town of Deposit, New York. I am applying for the Ghana Community Service program for 2009 through AFS. When I read the description for this program, I was overwhelmed with excitement! I have always loved the entire continent of Africa, and to be able to work in an orphanage (I love kids!) over there for a month is absolutely fabulous. I am attending college in fall of 2009, so a month is the perfect amount of time to travel.
My life is pretty busy, but not too bad. In a small town, there aren't a lot of activities and clubs, but I try to stay involved in as many things as I can. I'm the yearbook editor for our school, the president of our Tri-M Honor Society, and a member of the National Honor Society. I love music. I am in our chorus and I play trumpet in the band.
I am so unbelievably excited about this opportunity. I really hope everything works out and I am able to raise the money for this trip. Thanks for having interest in my blog and my dream.
