I've known my best friend, Sophia Guicla Lopez, since the seventh grade - and she's been the hardest working person I know.

Recently, she's been accepted to Columbia University, her dream college. The issue she's facing is paying UC Berkeley $6,000 to cover the international program she'll be missing if she chooses to accept the Columbia admission. We currently have only 2 days until the admission expires.

This has been Sophia's dream college ever since I've known her. I've seen this woman put her blood, sweat, and tears into academia and cannot express the amount of love and aspiration I have for her. I truly wish for her to achieve her dream, and I hope that you all will be able to make even the smallest of contributions towards this goal.
