I won a contest to go to Germany!
Yes that’s right. I, Derrek, won a contest! I think it’s the first contest I’ve ever won. My name was submitted along with a bunch of other German students that are attending the Goethe Institut to study German to a hat drawing and I was picked. I get to go to Germany for 4 weeks to study German in either October, November or December in either Bonn (20 kilometers outside of Cologne), Berlin, Munich or Schwäbisch Hall. The contest covers tuition, accommodation and $500 towards air fare. I’m not sure when or even if I can go yet, but I’m going to make every effort to make it happen. More news as I get it. I’m very excited!
