Support Regine's Final Steps to Becoming a Principal

Story

Help Me Finish My Master's Degree in Educational Leadership Hello, my name is Regine, and I’m humbly reaching out for support as I approach the final stretch of my graduate journey. I am currently in my senior year of my Master’s program in Educational Leadership—a dream I have worked tirelessly to make a reality. For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a teacher. Education gave me purpose, direction, and the opportunity to become a change agent in my community. Over the years, I’ve served as a teacher, mentor, coach, and advisor—pouring into my students, colleagues, and families with all my heart. Through these experiences, I’ve discovered my greater calling: to become a principal and one day lead a school that transforms lives. My passion is rooted in service—to uplift students, empower teachers, engage families, and create spaces where everyone belongs and thrives. This journey has not been easy. I’ve worked multiple jobs, 12-14 hour days, and over 70 hours a week while completing graduate courses, internships, tutoring, and mentoring. I’ve done everything in my power to push through, and now—just one month before graduation—I’ve hit an unexpected roadblock. Due to a technical error in the school system, my tuition wasn’t processed in time and was only recently applied. I’ve now been told I must pay the full amount upfront, or everything I’ve worked for will be put on hold—just weeks before the finish line. This isn’t easy for me to ask, but if you know my heart, you know how deeply determined I am. I believe in this purpose. I believe in the work I’ve done. And I believe in what’s still ahead. If you’re able to give—even $1—or share words of encouragement, it would mean the world to me. Every dollar, every kind thought, and every share brings me one step closer to the future I’ve spent years building. Thank you for being part of my village. Let’s finish this journey together. With gratitude and love, Regine
