Friends, Family, and Everyone else in between, 

I need your help.
After I joined the Army Reserve I decided that it was time to go to college.  I applied at UNLV and I got in.   After one semester I was forced to leave because because I couldn't pay for it.

The semester was ending and it was time to sign up for the spring classes but I couldn't because I still had a balance on my account. I had just bought a car and I was about to be living in it if I had decided to stay in Las Vegas. So instead, I packed up my dorm room and I went home. I lived with my parents, I worked like a dog at a new job, I took on extra duty for the Army and I was able to return to college in the fall of 2014. I paid for most of it out of my pocket with all of the money I had saved from working day in and day out for months.

Now, here I am again at that same juncture. I have this balance on my account, my savings is depleted, I can't get enough hours to support myself AND pay for school.  I play in a band every weekend, I do monthly Battle Assemblies in Salt Lake and I still can't seem to make the ends meet.  I've exhausted all my options with financial aid and Military assistance and I still have a balance on my account.  All I want is to continue with my education and become a teacher.  I want to be able to change lives every day one day at a time, but without my teaching license I won't be able to do that.  Help me achieve my goals and become that teacher I've always wanted to be by donating whatever is possible.
