Hey, I created a page to fund my schooling. I’m on a path of becoming a Geneticist and I need your help!

Four years ago, in 2019 I found myself in a situation where I was given the opportunity to pursue my dream – swim and study at an American college. This dream was only obtainable because I received both an academic and athletic scholarship. However, I wasn’t given a full ride, but my parents and my community helped me reach for the starts and move from a small city to follow the American dream.

Four years later, I’m writing this letter asking for help. In the meantime, I switched from a college in upstate NY to a college in Florida due to COVID -19 and the scholarship being cut. In May this year (2023) I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology, with being top 5% students in the US with my results from a Capstone Exam of Biology and graduating with Honors ‘Cum Laude’.

The main point of this letter and why I would need donations is regarding my future. In the past four years I fell in love with science and research and I would love to continue graduate school to get my Master’s degree in Molecular Biology and Genetics. Later on I would love to become a doctor; but taking it one step at the time, I need your help affording graduate school. The cost of two years of Polytechnic University in Milano is about 20K and my goal is to try to reach the maximum amount I can.
