Hey everyone! So I am in the final stages of starting school at Full Sail University online. I am so excited because I will finally be learning what I love: Digital Cinematography. I already have an Associate's Degree in Interactive Media Design (which includes Graphic Design, Digital Art, Photography, etc.), but now I will be learning the ins and outs of film and I pray that I get to be an post production editor one day. It's hard to do that without a degree though, so alas I am going for my Bachelor's Degree. Here is an example of my work with Digital Cinematography. My problem came when reality hit me two days ago. Since I have no scholarships or grants (even though I have tried), I am expected to pay $23,000 out of pocket to go. What college kid has this kind of money? Yes, I do work part time, but I'm still not making that kind of money. Going over my options, I know I will have to get another loan (that will make 3 loans for school and will rack up to about $70,000 when I get out). The whole thought of it freaks me out.
Which brings me to another option I am going to try: asking for help. Many of you know what it's like to be in debt for years trying to pay off school loans; some from your college experience and some who are helping or have helped your children pay off their debt. I have started a GoFundMe page in an attempt to raise some money toward my first year of school. The goal is $10,000, which is the gap in how much the loans are covering and how much the academic year is. Here are a few ways you could donate: *You can give directly on my GoFundMe page here *You can purchase something from my Etsy shop here *Or you can purchase the children's book I wrote while geting my Associate's Degree here I am asking that you sympathize with me and at least consider donating. I accept pocket change. If you decide to give I will be so thankful. Also keep watch for updates. I might have some raffles and competitions coming up for contributors.
