My name is Shania, and I am a first-generation college student from Jamaica currently studying human development in the United States. I have worked hard to maintain a 3.87

GPA, and I am passionate about making a difference in the world. My dream is to complete my prerequisites and enter a nursing program so I can become a travel nurse, helping people in different communities around the globe.

As an international student, I face unique challenges. My tuition is much higher than what residents pay, and unfortunately, I am unable to work off-campus. On-campus jobs are very limited and difficult to secure. My family is doing everything they can to help me follow my dreams, but they can only do so much. These financial barriers make it extremely hard to continue my education, even though I am determined to succeed.

I am reaching out for your support so I can continue my studies and move closer to my dream of becoming a travel nurse. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to making a positive impact in the world. Thank you for believing in me and helping me pursue my goals!
