Help me attend cosmetology school!

With the closure of Field Station: Dinosaurs, it's time for me to think about my future. As many know, I have developed a great passion for the beauty industry over the years. Many have commented on my nails, makeup, and hair, and I've even done some of your makeup for you. I've decided to put my passion to good use and get my cosmetology license. Unfortunately, this is not cheap. This is where you come in! By giving money to this GoFundMe, you are helping fund a dream and a life!

The cosmetology school I am looking to enroll in is called Empire. I have friends who went there and I toured on Saturday!

the program costs a total of $19,377.19 I am not expecting to be able to fund my entire payment through GoTundMe but if I can all the better!

the breakdown according to Empire is as follows:

My current goal is to pay the 20% down payment which is $3,814
