Help Frida go to Berklee's summer jazz program!

Hello, my name is Frida, and I need your help attending my dream summer jazz program.

I started singing when I was very young, and fell in love with jazz a few years ago. I remember very vividly the way that jazz made me feel for the first time, and the discovery that ensued when I found out that it was an option I could participate in. Since then, although only 16, I cannot bring myself to want to do anything else with my life and plan on pursuing a career in jazz.

This January I applied for a scholarship to attend the Berklee School of Music's five-week summer intensive program in the jazz department. Last Friday, I found out that I had been accepted and was awarded a partial scholarship. Unfortunately, the amount not covered by the scholarship is nowhere near what my parents can afford to pay in order for me to accept my position this summer. I am willing to do anything to achieve my goal and have started applying and looking for part-time jobs in order to help pay my tuition and living expenses for this program, but simply cannot raise all the money myself on time.

The Berklee School of Music is a world-renowned institution and attending their summer program will provide me with an amazing opportunity to continue my career in jazz. So I am asking for you to please help me fund this incredible opportunity this summer. Thank you in advance for your contributions.
