Hello World🌏
First time EVER doing something like this so please be kind😬! My faith reminds me to “ask so that you may receive…”so, here goes!🙏🏾
I need HELP to help my parents cover this expense! They are so overwhelmed with one kid in college📚 so I would like to ease their load. My mom always says to “shoot for the stars ⭐️and you’ll land in the clouds☁️!”
I’ve been in the arts & creative world since I was 9 years old! Acting🎭, dancing💃🏾, singing🎤, playing the piano🎹, painting🎨, muraling👩🏾🎨, stage design🎬, and makeup! Kinda my life’s work already at 16🥰
It is truly my very own special gift🎁 from God✝️! As I embark upon “adult decisions,” I have found a program and school 📖that makes me feel at home. SCAD also Savannah College of Art & Design, is a magical 🪄place - a creative’s dream💭 - not to mention $60+K 💰…but I digress! Main campus is in Savannah but the smaller campus is in Atlanta, which is the one I want - close to my brother 👫🏾!
I've been ACCEPTED to the SCAD Rising Star Summer program! It's a 4-week intensive ON CAMPUS diving right into this limitless world! Even gaining credit to transfer into college during Fall 2026. The formalities: I’m a junior at WCA in Melrose Park, dual enrolled at Concordia University, a part of a million activities, HFS Chicago Scholar, T.R.A.C.E fellow alum,, Empower Illinois 2-time awardee, former Lion King NYC auditioner, participated in 2 summer intensives at The Broadway Workshop NYC, and teen muralist on display at Studio Be in NOLA.
