Just under a year ago I graduated from the California Institute of the Arts with a BFA in acting. At the beginning of 2017 I auditioned for the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London, and have been accepted for the one year MA Contemporary Acting program beginning this coming fall.

Like a lot of young friends of mine, I have a lot of trouble affording this. Tuition is around 19,000 pounds.
I've applied for scholarships, and filled out my FAFSA and am also working full time and some at a hospital. With all of this I am hoping to have about half of tuition covered on my own by summers end. Unfortunately that's not enough to cover my living expenses in a new country. 

I truly hate  to ask for anything.
So...that being said. Here goes.

I am grateful to my parents for what they've done to help me attain my bachelor’s degree.

I love you all. My friends and family. Thank you for reading this schmaltz.
