The Yo Mismo program is an opportunity for you to contribute to the cost of your own trip. In order to get started you need to do the following:
Open up the Yo Mismo Calculadora. Create your own copy of the document (File>Create a copy). Name it "Last First Yo Mismo Calculadora", i.e. "Tierney Profe Yo Mismo Calculadora". Finally, share the documente with profetierney@gmail.com.
Now that you have your own document personalize the sections that are highlighted in green. You will use the top of the document to track your savings and the bottom of the document to determine how much money you need to save. You will quickly realize that if you are working on a regular basis it will be easy to save the money you need and you may even have a good portion of money left over.
Talk to your parents about starting a savings account and how you to make frequent deposits. Remember that the Institution for Savings has just opened a branch at Masco that could come in handy.
Work work work, save save save. Find a steady source of income. Odd jobs like babysitting, landscaping, and dog walking or more fixed jobs like retail, lifeguarding or food services are common roots of income for teenage students.
Lastly, update your Calculadora monthly with what you've saved and visit Profe Tierney with any questions.
