The Day is Here! By Julia Hack

    Today is the day!  Bags are checked, passports in hand, we are ready to go to Barcelona!  This journey bagan in the end of the last school year, when we applied to go on a triip to Atlanta, Georgia to go to the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates.  We went through a difficult application process, involving two essays, teacher and community recommendations, and transcripts.  After applying, we found out the Summit had been moved to Barcelona, Spain.  The list of participants was released a few months later, and we have been working hard on making the trip happen since then.   In those few short months, we have worked hard on getting all of the documents we need to travel. Many of us are first time international travelers, and needed to get our passports.  As a group, we have also been working on fundraising and commities were formed to help plan different aspects of the trip.  We have been counting down to this day for months!  We are very excited to go to Barcelona!  Thank you to everyone who helped this trip happen.  I can't believe the day has finally arrived!
