Final Step: Fundraising

Image
Now that the trip is over and I'm back in Boston (and back in the cold weather!), the next step for this project is fundraising to cover the costs of the trip. My goal is to reach at least $2000, which is about how much the trip was with gas, overnights, and the rental of the UHaul. If we pass our fundraising goal of $2000, any extra will go towards CCSR for help with future projects. Any little bit will be a big help with reaching our goal! If you are interested in fundraising, here's what you can do: Write a check with your desired payment, to be made out to Medford CCSR (Make sure to note in the memo section that the check is for the Hurricane Harvey Relief Project).   You can mail the check to Medford High School here: Medford High School ATTN: Richard Trotta, CCSR Director 489 Winthrop Street Medford, MA  02155 A big thanks to everyone who made the effort to donate to hurricane relief!

Monday was a fairly uneventful day. We woke up early as planned and were out the door by 5am, which was a drastic difference from my usual 6:30 school day wakeup time! Luckily, I was able to sleep in the truck while my dad made the first leg of the drive. We split the day up in chunks; he did most of the driving but I was able to squeeze in a four-hour leg in the morning after breakfast. I figured out fast that driving a UHaul is pretty different from driving my car! It took a bit to get used to the height, weight, and width of the truck and how to navigate it without making any sharp turns. Once we were on the highway, we were good to go! Dare I say the time a...

Night in Houston

Image
Once we made it to Houston we found our hotel and settled in. I was lucky to be able to meet up with my friend from the New York Times summer program while I was here. She picked me up and brought me out to dinner at Ninfa's on Navigation where I was able to try some authenitc Tex-Mex cuisine! If you ever find yourself in Houston, make sure you get in a meal at Ninfa's. The mole gelato, amazing!
