I've always believed in the power of dreams, even though life hasn't exactly dealt me the best hand. I was born into a world where life conditions were less than ideal, but that hasn't stopped me from dreaming. My most fervent dream is to set foot in Singapore, just once in my lifetime.

Singapore, a place so distant and foreign to me, seems like a mirage in the desert of my existence. The architecture there, it's something beyond my imagination. Those towering skyscrapers, they seem to touch the very heavens. The buildings aren't just structures; they are artistic masterpieces,.they inspire me like nothing else. 

I'm studying architecture myself. It's my passion, my lifeline, and the one thing that makes me believe that maybe, just maybe, I can escape the gravitational pull of my humble beginnings. 

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. My journey is fraught with financial struggles, every tuition payment, every meal skipped to save money is a reminder of how far I am from the shimmering skyline of Singapore. I won't lie; there are days when it feels like I'm suffocating under the weight of it all.

And then there's the other battle I face, one that's often hidden from the world. Mental issues, they're like a shadow that never quite leaves. Anxiety and despair, they visit me in the quiet hours of the night. 

But I've decided that I won't let these hardships dictate the course of my life. I've set my sights on doing an internship in Singapore. It's a long shot, I know, but I have to try. Maybe, just maybe, it'll be my foot in the door, a chance to prove myself in the city that inspires me. The chance to work in Singapore's architectural world would be a dream come true.  But to get there, I need a helping hand, a bridge between my passion and the reality of my circumstances.

If you see potential in my dreams, I would be grateful if you consider offering your support. I promise, every ounce of help will be repaid with dedication, hard work, and an unwavering commitment to pursuing this dream.
