Inga's Last Semester at Berklee
Donation protected
Hi all!
My name is Inga Maria Hjartardottir and I am a 22-yearold singer/songwriter from Iceland.
In 2013 I was accepted to my dream school, Berklee College of Music in Boston. I was so unbelievably happy, honored and excited! That was until I found out I had misunderstoond the whole thing slightly. Being the small-town-hearted-girl that I was where education is a given right of all citizents, there was no way I would believe ONE YEAR at a college could cost $60,000! It had to be for FOUR years right? Unfortunately that was not the case, silly me.
There I was, 19 years old with a one way ticket to Boston absolutely terrefied of how I would survive financially. I made the decision to still go, knowing there was the possibility of not being able to fund more than one year at the school. NOW I HAVE FINISHED THREE WHOLE YEARS and I cannot even being to tell you how proud of myself I am for that.
I only have one more semester. ONE MORE. But since I have maxed out my student loans and I am unable (because of immigration laws) to take a semester off, I will be heading back to Boston in the fall having to pay all costs straight from my own pocket, no loans, no help.
And we are talking about thousands of dollars here.
That is why I look for YOUR HELP. Please, please, please, I am on my knees begging for just a few dollars from each and everyone that stops by here, it all ads up! I have worked so incredibly hard, paid for ALL OF IT on my own. That is tuition, housing, food, travels, all of it. I have given my absolute all and everything to get to where I am today and it breaks my heart more than anything that I might not be able to finish what I started. Help me take that last step over to the finish line and I will be forever and EVER grateful.
To explain the goal of $10,000 I have set. $10,000 (or $10,174 to be exact), is the cost of my final semester tuition, which will be part time so I can save some money, minus my scholarship!
