All I Want For Christmas is My Surg Tech Degree
Donation protected
Hey friends,
Due to the drawn out nature of worker’s comp healthcare, I am still not able to fully work (I also still cannot jog, run, dance, or even wear long pants without pain, frankly).
Because I have only been able to do desk work part-time for the last six months, my savings are depleted, and funds are low. Due to all of this, and a rise in tuition costs, I may be forced to drop out of my program, with only two semesters of classes and clinicals to go before graduation.
I have made the President’s list every semester with a 4.0 GPA, and I was recently inducted into the honor’s society, and just this week I passed my final comp – the BIG one, the test that decides on a pass/fail if I am able to go into clinicals and cut out to be a surgical technologist.
It looks like I will owe at least $1800 out of pocket next semester, and because of my clinical and class schedule, I will only be able to work 1-2 days a week.
So, HI, that’s where you hopefully come in. In lieu of Christmas cards, presents, or even coffee, and at the heavy suggestion/encouragement of multiple close family members and friends, I am asking if this holiday season, you would please, please invest in my education, that I may be able to reach graduation, to be able to pay it forward in the future.
I really didn’t want to ask because it is the holidays, and I know everyone else is feeling that “holiday pinch” from all the expenses that come of “making spirits bright”, but if you could help at all, even just $5 and a share on social media; just know that it would mean the absolute world to me.
Christmas is my favorite time of year, so I am asking, in the spirit of that, if anyone could spare a little extra holiday magic for me.
