<div>I can’t believe I’m in the final months of my SENIOR YEAR of high school.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>I have applied to 30 schools and so far been accepted to 21 of them, with my top colleges being:<br /><br />- Spelman<br />- Howard<br />- Xavier of Louisiana <br />-FAMU<br />-Fisk<br />-Hampton <br />-Tuskegee <br />-Temple<br />-Princeton <br />-Clark Atlanta University<br /><br />I’m still waiting to hear back from many of my top choices (late March early April) yet I have been accepted to the number one private and public HBCU’s  FAMU and Spelman College and a few more. And since college won’t pay for itself, I’ve also been applying to many scholarships.
</div>

<div><br />So far I have not won enough but I’m not giving up because I haven’t come this far to not get to the next stage of my educational endeavors. So I am hoping to get some help to aid in my dream to pay for college to ease some of that financial burden for my mom and myself.<br /><br /><em><strong>Even with my pell grant and max in student loans I’m still considerably short in funding college. Any donations will go towards anything college — tuition, room and board, and other college items/expenses needed.</strong></em> <br /><br /><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Below is an estimated breakdown of my expected cost of attendance:</span><br /><br /><strong>Tuition:</strong> $25,300<br /><strong>Fees: </strong>$3,000<br /><strong>Room: </strong>$9,000<br /><strong>Board: </strong>$6,300<br /><strong>Books/supplies:</strong> $2,500<br /><strong>Personal expenses: </strong>$2,000<br /><strong>Transportation</strong>: $1,500<br /><strong>New student fee: </strong>$250<br /><strong>Health Insurance: </strong>$1,500<br /><br />For example if I meet my goal of $50,000, I'll be able to pay for at least my first year. My college decision won't be made until May, but this goal is set based on the estimates I've received so far. <br /><br />For half of my life (9 years to be exact) many of you have supported my campaigns (over 18 successful campaigns) to help so many across the world and I’m truly grateful to each and every one of you. What a campaign ride it has been to do good work and through the kindness of others help so many in need.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>I know service doesn’t end with just a campaign, it is actually just the start and one part of it. This time, the new campaign, the new challenge, is for yours truly - me! This campaign may be another one of my big lofty dreams but hey, that’s how StarBright came into fruition and 18+ campaigns later is GoFundMe HERSTORY! 
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div><strong style="font-size:1.0625rem;">My goal deadline is to raise funds before or by college decision (May 2) to help with any college expenses!  Stay tuned! College decision is downloading!!! </strong>
