To whom it may concern,

I am writing to thank you for accepting me for the Tim Moore Study Abroad Scholarship. I was so excited to hear the news. This summer I will be traveling to Mexico, where I will study and take two classes in the city of Puebla in southern Mexico.

I look forward to the new environment where I will make my home for two months. I look forward to living with a Mexican family and learning to speak fluent Spanish. I look forward to spending my time with new people, food, and traditions. Furthermore, I am so excited to see how these things will affect my creativity and my artwork.

Thank you for supporting me in my travels and in my passions.

Sincerely,
Eleanor Kaufman
