“Thank you so much for your generous donation. I am very grateful for this assistance as I navigate the challenges of my academic journey. I am a communications major with a minor in business and I plan to pursue a career in public relations so I can work with the media and people to create a better world. I play the cello and like to journal in my free time. As I get closer and closer to finishing my degree I am amazed by my growth throughout the journey. It’s been hard putting myself through school without my parents’ support. Thanks to donors like you my dreams are finally coming true.”
