Get me to university

Hi everyone!

In August I will be pursuing my master’s degree in the United States of America. This has been a dream of mine since I was very young and it is made possible when I was selected as one of five grantees of the Fulbright scholarship year 2019. Fortunately, I will be studying a field that is very dear to me.

As an individual, there are many subjects that fascinate me; social science, pure science, architecture and art. I find solace in art. However, I am passionate about the nature and environment the most. I am privileged to have the opportunity to pursue my career relating to my passion; the well-being of the society, future generations and the planet. As the world evolve with the advancement of technologies, many environmental issues arise with it mainly caused by human activities and have affected our nature in ghastly ways. With this, I felt the urge to do my part with the what I know and that I must help turn circumstances around for the better.

I am aware that by obtaining a master’s degree is not a magical solution to the above-mentioned concerns. Nevertheless, it is a stepping stone to my future academic and career success. It is my firm belief that by studying the environment and the sciences applied into it to develop solutions to environmental problems will help the children of tomorrow to enjoy a healthy and productive environment and through environmental science discoveries, the world will be a better and safer place to be called home not only for us but for the next generation.

I’m writing you this note as a request for your support in two areas. First of all, I’m asking for you to pray for me -- that my journey will be smooth sailing and that I will be able to graduate on time. Secondly, I am asking for your financial support as a sponsor. I am responsible for raising $3000 to pay for my housing deposit and transportation; flight ticket from my home country to university. Any amount of donation will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for being part of my journey!

With gratitude,

Nur ‘Ashiqin
