Stacy's Semester in Los Angeles
Donation protected
I have been given the GREATEST opportunity to further my career as a student journalist with an interest in entertainment news. On June 4th, I received a phone call from Los Angeles. I answered and was told that a spot had opened up for me in the UTLA Program and that if I accept, I will be one of only 40 Communication Majors attending my first semester as a UT Senior in LOS ANGELES. The University of Texas at Austin has a program where 40 lucky students get the chance to study and intern on the West Coast, and I was lucky enough to be squeezed on the list.
Sounds like it's a no-brainer decision, right? Wrong.
THE COST.
My parents are going through a lot right now. Putting my older brother through a pricey education at Auguste Escoffier Culinary Arts School, paying for mishaps with vehicles, and paying off my previous semesters at UT.
They want me to have this opportunity, but I would like to take the time to try and lessen the financial burden this would have on my family.
A HUGE opportunity like this costs a lot. The cost of the entire program is nearly $14,000.
If anyone would like to donate to my dream, I would be more than appreciative!
(I'm definitely embarrassed about starting this GoFundMe page because I hate asking people for things, but fulfilling my dream in LA would definitely cause an unnecessary strain on my parents I would like to avoid.)
Thank you!
