My Travel Story

Intense. If I could select a word to define my personal being it would be intense. I am that person who devotes myself 100% to any and every activity I am offered. I compromise and dedicate all my energy and effort to accomplish successful results. By doing so, I try to predict and prevent possible mistakes and action flaws. I like to contribute, to help, to provide solutions, and to generate ideas where possible and create positive outcomes wherever I am.
Last year was THE YEAR. I got so close to finally living the studyinh abroad dream again. I was awarded a partial scholarship from Santander scholarship program. I got myself two bank loans with my family's help. I started preparing my visa process and out of the blue, the mission was impossible. My visa was refused and I had already quit one job. How could I recollect my pieces and put myself together again? Only God knows. In fact, He is the one responsible for my sanity after so many drawbacks in one year. Enough with the complaints, I need your help. The scholarship is not renewable and I still do not know how I am going to reach the £15,500 (tuition fee) + £1000 (maintenance fee) to study  in the United Kingdom. I need help. I need your help. 
I could not put the entire amount on a fundraising campaign. It's too much to ask for. Help me with what you can, when you can.

I am giving a second chance to myself. An opportunity to believe studying overseas could be for me as well. A prospective opportunity that can open doors, make dreams and study abroad possible, and learning at a different place and culture the priority in someone’s life.
