 Hi, I'm Yolanda, and this year I graduated from my university with a degree in Biology. This was very exciting for me because, during my entire senior year, I was thinking about how immediately after graduating, I could either enter one last paid internship that might get me a good amount to put toward the new life I would be starting or land a great starter job to get back to working.

 <strong>Now, with the way life is funny sometimes, it's months later, and unfortunately, not a single one of the 50+ jobs got back to me, nor did I manage to land an internship</strong> despite making it far in the process. The only type of work I have had access to so far is the baking business I hope to take off one day, but the process of starting a business with little to no starter funds is quite the challenge. I will continue to do what I can to make my baking lucrative but unfortunately I still owe rent every month so I cannot rely on this.

 I decided that if I can't clock in hours, then <strong>at the very least I could go back to school and be the student I know how to be and earn a certificate</strong> <strong>in Surgical Technology</strong> to guarantee that I will be able to work again. Apart from that, I honestly am in the worst debt I have ever been in because during my senior year my mom was also having a hard time with our payment plan, so I just decided to use my credit card and didn't want to worry her about paying me back since we were both in it together.

 <strong>All proceeds would go toward my current school tuition, the student loans that start in November, and the debt accrued this year.</strong> Prayers and encouragement truly do weigh just as much in my mind, so whatever you are able to contribute is not taken lightly, and I truly thank you.
