Help Lydia decide on her dream college this April!
Hi everyone!

I recently decided to go back to college this Fall, and I have been offered admissions to eleven schools! I would love to be able to visit my top three choices: University of San Francisco and Saint Mary’s College in northern california, and Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida. While I am blessed to have so many great options, I don’t feel ready to make my decision before visiting the campuses, which I am hoping to do next month.

Because I am planning to go on these trips by myself, I unfortunately don’t have enough funds currently for my travel expenses (international airfare to and from San Miguel de Allende, lodging, and car rentals). I humbly ask you to consider supporting me, as any contribution you can make to help me make these visits possible is greatly appreciated!

A few years back, I committed to Cal State Fullerton without visiting, and it ended up not being the right fit for me. I spent two years regretting this decision, and assuming college just wasn’t for me, until this winter when I realized I could choose a new path and turn my life around. I did this by applying as a transfer student to much smaller and more community-oriented schools, where I would be treated as a human being instead of a number. Attending university has always been a dream of mine that I don’t want to give up on; I’m ready to finish my college education in a place that right for me! As you know, college is a big choice that could impact the trajectory of my life, and I want to make the most well-informed decision possible.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, my beloved community.

I so appreciate your support as I take this next step in my life. <3
