My name is Marissa Fernandez and I graduated from CSULB with my BA in English Education with hopes of one day becoming a High School English Teacher.
I recently applied for a Fulbright Scholarship to teach English in Thailand for a year and was denied. I am now taking things into my own hands and plan to sign up for a 4-Week TEFL (Teach English as a Foreign Language) Course in Koh Samui, Thaliand. After this program I will be certified to teach English in many foreign countries.

Breakdown of Funds
Course Deposit:$579✔️
Course Remaining: $519✔️
Flight:$500 (One-way ticket to Bangkok)✔️
Flight: $99 (One-way ticket to Koh Samui)✔️
Room:$286✔️
Backpack:$235✔️
Daily Spending:$600 (based on research stating average daily spending [food, transportation, etc.]is $20/day)✔️
After adding these numbers, that leaves me with roughly $180 left from the $3,000 I'm trying to raise. I'm leaving that as wiggle room in case of emergency.
I have signed up and put a deposit for the course that starts on November 21, 2016. I would need the money by November 1, 2016.
I have always wanted to be a teacher and in the past few years have really wanted to go abroad to a part of the world that is not as developed as my home country. This is the first time in my life that I am doing something for myself and not caring what other people have to say about it. In other words, no one will discourage me from achieving this dream of mine.
If you help fund me I will be eternally greatful. This experience will help me in my future career as a High School teacher as well as helping others across the globe learn and grow their knowledge in the English language; which is something I am very passionate about.
