Can't Pass Without the Gas!

Donation protected
Hello! 
My name is Dominique Badger and I am 18 years old and currently going to school to become a licensed esthetician.I am attending Michael's School of Hair Design and Esthetics. Estheticans perform skin treatments, pedicures, hair removal, and so much more! I will have the opportunity to become a makeup artist, spa owner, work in a dermatologist's office and much more as well! 

This field is something that I am very passionate about. I have always had skin problems myself, so to help someone else with theirs, would be absolutly amazing. I have attached a few pictures of makeup work I have done on myself. Makeup artistry is something that I could get into as well with this license!

To become a licensed esthetican, I must complete at least 600 hours and pass the state boards exam. The program is about 6 months long. School starts at 9 in the morning and ends at 4, Tuesdays through Saturdays. I have Sundays and Mondays off!
To get to school and back everyday, I am driving about 120 miles (60 there, 60 back). It's about an hour and a half drive there and back (3 hours long)! My dad did some math, and I could litterally drive to Florida and back every month with the amount of gas I'm going to use! Crazy right?!? In the 6 months that I will be commuting back and forth, I will have used about $2,500 worth of gas. The gas companies love me!

Because the days and the commute are so long, I had to quit my job to be fully committed to my school and to keep my sanity. I am still working with my Dad on the side a few times a week. 
My little car does well on gas, but I still am finding myself struggling to get the money for it. I am paying for my schooling by myself with no help from my parents. I did get a little in scholarships but I will still have to pay hundreds each month in loans for the next two years to cover it all. 

I am not asking for donations to cover the cost of my tuition because I know that I need to work for what I want in life. I am asking for donations for HALF of the cost of gas to get to and from school each day. I don't want to end up being in a situation where I can't attend school because I don't have the money for gas! This isn't something I am going to give up and drop out of because I'm SO passionate about it!
