When I was younger, maybe around 13 or 14, I didnt really have anything I was good at. I remember in middle school, all of my friends were doing sports and talented in that respect. I tried, however I failed miserably at tennis, track, etc. So I left middle school feeling like I was talentless. Entering the highschool, I was without a hobbie, and without a clue. BUT, serendipitously, I was placed in a beginners studio art class by my guidance counseler as my elective course, being I didnt know what I wanted to take. This was a marvelous act of fate, and I remember when ever my art teacher would tell me my work was "beautiful" or that i had "potential" or "talent", I was so glad to have finally found something that I excelled at. Fastforward four years, and I have since filled my highschool schedule with various art classes where I have developed a love for art more than anything. I learned, too, that I loved not just the conventional drawing or painting, but things that are relatively new and even more unprecented, such as film and photography. I applied for many schools, all with art in mind, but my dream school is Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY . I applied and was accepted!! with a merit scholarship of $18,000. This is great, except that it doesn't even put a dent in the approximately $61,000 tuition. I have also applied for various other scholarships here and there, but they do not seem to be adding up either. I just feel as if I have such big dreams but have been driven into a corner because of them. I would love if anyone could help me! Any donation would help, and even if you are unable to donate at this time, share my story on social media!
