Support Joshua's Journey in the USA.

Embarking on the transformative journey from South Africa to the United States to pursue my education has been a remarkable yet challenging experience. As an international student, my vision revolves around cultivating an exceptional quality of life, prioritizing both mental and physical wellness, and embracing an active outdoor lifestyle. This vision serves as the guiding force propelling me forward despite recent financial struggles.

Amidst the myriad of challenges, I was still able to achieve great heights, some examples are:

My journey has been marked by resilience, determination, and a deep passion for soccer. Despite financial constraints, I am committed to continuing my soccer journey at the college level, aiming to reach the pinnacle of success by competing in a national championship. Soccer, for me, is not just a sport; it is a medium through which I cultivate discipline, teamwork, and leadership skills. Achieving success on the soccer field mirrors my broader goals of excelling academically and making a lasting impact on the community.

Being an international student adds a layer of complexity to my journey, but it also brings a unique perspective and cultural richness to the college community. My diverse background enriches the tapestry of experiences within the student body, fostering a global understanding and promoting inclusivity. As a student trustee, I aspire to advocate for the needs and concerns of fellow international students, ensuring that their voices are heard and valued.

Despite financial setbacks, my commitment to academic excellence, community impact, and athletic achievements remains resolute. Receiving your donation would not only alleviate the financial burden but also provide me with the means to fully dedicate myself to my studies, community involvement, and soccer pursuits. Your donation would serve as a catalyst for turning my dreams into tangible achievements, empowering me to pursue my goals with unwavering determination. Some of these goals are finishing my Bachelors degree and pursuing a MBA at the University of Washington.

My journey as an international student is a testament to my resilience, adaptability, and unyielding commitment to personal and collective growth. With a clear vision of cultivating an exceptional quality of life, making a positive impact, and excelling in soccer, I am eager to embrace every opportunity that comes my way. Your donation would not only be a financial support system but a recognition of my potential to contribute meaningfully to the college community and beyond.

All funds will go towards my tuition bill, however any extra will go towards The Evergreen State College Men's and Women's Soccer program.
