Hello! My name is Antoine Brandt! I am an aspiring fashion designer from Miami, FL. and undergraduate student at the Savannah College of Art and Design. My single mother works bill to bill just to survive, and art school is grossly expensive. Fashion Design has always been my passion. I was able to finance over 3/4th’s of my degree but Covid, completely destroyed my scheduling and mental health, but more importantly my finances. I had to leave school for over a year, and now I have the opportunity to finish as I am currently enrolled. As of 10/26/22 I have 3 weeks left for this semester. If my balance doesn’t reach 500 or less I will be unable to register for Winter Quarter which is my last term before I’m awarded my degree! I do not want to have to take another gap year as I have many passions, current expenses that I’m struggling to make, and the urge to succeed. Especially when each term is only a brief but intensive 10 week period! Please make me one of the first in my family to graduate at a collegiate level. Thank you, words can’t describe how badly I want this piece of paper!
