Help Student to Buy Books and Computer
Hi, my Name is Jason Ramirez, I am trying to raise money to buy a Lenovo computer and pay for my books. This is going to be my first semester in SFSU and I need money to buy a computer and books from school.
let me tell you a little more about my life. I am 23 years old. I came to the US when I was 14 years old with my family due to corruption and criminality of my country, Honduras. We all had to find work; my father works as a janitor and my mother is a housekeeper, and sometimes I work in construction, but it is not a stable job. We all help to pay the rent each month. I only have one sibling, and she is younger than me. We do not make enough money to pay for my university. We live in a small apartment, with two rooms; I do sleep in the living room in order to give privacy to my sister and my parents. Each month we make just enough to pay the rent and the food, and we usually try to avoid luxuries. I am studying to become a computer engineer. Attending to school and graduate from San Francisco State as a Computer Engineer is my dream since I like coding. I want to make my family proud and be the first one to graduate from a university in the USA, I want to be a role model for my sister and inspire others to achieve their dreams. My main goal is not just to get a bachelor's degree, but to get the tools necessary to be efficient at work. In Computer Engineering I could help others directly or indirectly. My dream job is to participate in mechatronics and help develop tools, machines, anything that can help others to make their lives simpler and easier to live. I have been working and I am half-way there; I recently finished the first half of my university education at a local community college, Skyline College, but I need your help. I am going to start classes in SFSU, and I need the tools to have success in my classes. Scholarships only take in consideration bills from school, but I must cover other expenses like books and materials. One of my biggest challenges is that I cannot afford to buy a computer that could handle the programs that my coding classes demand. Therefore, I am asking you if you can help me to achieve my dream, I would be very grateful. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
