In 2012, during my sophomore year of college, I went through a tragedy that made me have to leave University. My student loans defaulted, leaving me in debt. I have paid off more than half of my student loans already through volunteering with an organization for two years and receiving an education stipend. I only have about $2500 left to pay off before I can return to school. Finishing my degree is very important to me because it would make my family proud, and I miss being in school and learning new things. Any contribution helps! I would love to be enrolled by next year!
