Help Abby Go To Howard!

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Abigail Joseph and I am raising money to help me afford to go to Howard University in the fall. I will be attending Howard University in Washington, D.C  as an incoming freshman studying biology on a pre-med track. My mom has not been able to help me save much money for me to go to college, since shes put all that money into my high school education. I've earned awards and been inducted into a few honor societies in my time in high school. I've maintained Magna Cum Laude for every quarter of high school and I've been inducted into Spanish Honor Society. In high school, I have also been a part of danceworks, chess club, Caribbean Club, Spanish club, stage crew, among many other extracurricular activities outside of school.On top of all of that, I have to start saving money so that I can afford to go to medical school, and so I can keep my loans as low as possible.
I have wanted to go to Howard for a while now, since it is my dream school, and for many reasons. I have wanted to learn about black culture and my own heritage from the eyes and minds of other people my age. Likewise, after doing some research, I have learned that Howard University is the top school for minority students that want to go into medical school.
Due to my awards and achievements, I have received nearly $21,000 from Howard for my tuition. Since the tuition is about $43,000 for the year, with additional need for items such as school supplies and money to fall back on, I would have to raise nearly $30,000 for the year. 
Orientation Fee- $400
Meal Plan- $5150
Housing-$8206
Student Activity Fee- $126
Tuition-$26,446
Additional Fees-$2450
My goal is to become a pediatrician, preferably in an area with a higher rate of minority families, like New York City. I have wanted to be a pediatrician for as long as I can remember. I love children tremendously ad doing as much as caring for hundreds, if not thousands, of children would make me the happiest. 
I would need to set up a payment plan for Howard by August 3rd, but this is the amount of money that I need to raise/take out in loans. Any amount donated will be greatly appreciated. Even a share would help go a long way. Thank you to everyone who is helping my dream come true! I love you all!
