SYTA Youth Foundation

Thank you for the SYF "Road" Scholarship! I feel privileged to get this opportunity to go to Washington, D.C. My excitement is increasing daily. I have been looking forward to learning about our past and how our country came to be what it is today. Being there on Memorial Day seeing how they repect our fallen soldiers. I'm really looking forward to seeing the White House too! I plan to learn more about our country and have lots of fun. It will be a new experience for me to go somewhere outside the classroom and into new surroundings.
