Hi, my name is Cheyenne Wiggins and I am an 8th grader at Ramblewood Middle School. I have been nominated to represent my school and community at the National Youth Leadership Forum: Explore Stem at the University of Miami, in Coral Gables, FL. By attending this program, I will join other motivated students from around the country for an experiential Leadership and Career Exploration program. I have enclosed a sample of our itinerary for your review.

As you can see, this will be a powerful experience, enabling me to interact with respected professionals in various fields while building relationships with students who will be my future colleagues. Attending this program will allow me to further my interest in Robotics, Medicine and Engineering. I maintain a 3.8 GPA and am involved as a mentor in Mentoring Tomorrow Leaders, a Stepmaster for Ramblewood Middle Step Team, and was recently awarded a seat in the prestigious Cambridge International Program at Fort Lauderdale High School, for the upcoming school year.

Imagine if you were given this opportunity for a life-changing experience when you were in school. My participation in the program depends on whether I can raise $2,800 in sponsorships. This will help cover the tuition, meals and room and board at the University of Miami. I am hoping that you will consider assisting me with some of these costs. Your support for my sponsorship request would be greatly appreciated.
