Two Students Experience Trips of a Lifetime

Scarsdale, NY, October 13, 2009 --(PR.com)-- This summer, Project: Trip of a Lifetime, a newly formed 501(c)(3) organization, sent two high school students on three week summer teen tours to the west coast. Both of the students selected qualified for economic need and demonstrated an interest to use this experience to better their own communities. When Stan Rosenberg, the founder of Project: Trip of a Lifetime, went on a similar teen tour in the summer of 2007, he realized the impact traveling can have on teenager’s life and felt it was unfair only certain teenagers can afford these life-changing experiences. With the help of nine fellow teenagers and friends, Stan formed this organization as a way to give back to his community and spread the benefits of traveling to as many people as possible.

The two students selected had amazing times on their trips. The first student to be selected, Ramon Rosado, is currently a sophomore at Palisades Prep in Yonkers, New York. As Ramon explained to in an essay he wrote about his travels, “things I saw on this trip were amazing and unbelievable. Textbook pictures were coming to life for me.” The second student to be selected was Nicholas DeMarco who is currently a sophomore at Yonkers High School. Nick had an amazing experience and remarked in his essay that “it’s called ‘Trip of a Lifetime.’ And its aptly named. I found a second life, and a second family, on that trip. I know that I may not see them for some time, maybe as soon as a few days from now or maybe never again, but I also know that each one of them has found a special place in my mind. Those three weeks were arguably the best three of my life, and certainly the best three in a long time.” Both Ramon and Nicholas have dealt with much adversity in their lives and these trips not only gave them a break from the difficulties they have had to endure but also provided them with a new perspective of the world.
