Hi all! I have been paying out of pocket for school for a while now. My parents were helping me at first but my mother is a Breast Cancer survivor and has a lot of medical bills to pay, a lot of bills in general living in NY, and simply can only help me but so much. My father was illeagally fired fighting for justice and fairness for low wage workers (thecablevision99.org). I am a Music major with a concentration in voice (Soprano), and I want to become a music teacher, then own a charter school of my own. Good news is that I received some aid from my school! Yay! Bad news is that I owe the school $6100 and $2700 of that needs to be paid in full by Thursday, January 21, 2016 in order for me to even register for classes. Plus a $200 late validation fee (just finding out). It is a lot of money but I am an out of state student. The rest I can pay off with a payment plan (first payment is $862 due the following Friday, yikes). I'm in the process of becoming an in state student but I have not met all of the requirements yet due to just starting to file taxes myself. I only have two (2) more semesters to complete at the school I am at (Virginia State University) and I do not want all of my hard work and getting the school to give me some money to go in vain, so if you could please donate anything to help me at least be able to register for classes, I would truly appreciate it! Thank you for your kindness!
