I am a first generation black college student who will be a sophomore at an HBCU (Historic Black Colleges and Universities). I am a psychology major and a business administration minor. I want to have my own therapy clinic that is non profit for those who can’t afford it to get the help that they actually need. I also want to have my own cafe that will be a hangout spot and a comfortable place for people to do something relaxing such as reading or studying. I hope to also sell pastries and coffee in this cafe. I have had this dream for years ever since I was about 10 years old. I was in the top 20% in my class in high school with a 3.8 GPA and on top of that I graduated with honors. My family knew that at a young age I would be a successful person and that I would do well in school. I found out today that I need 5147 to pay in order to go to school this semester. The scholarships that I did have were taken away from me because I did not have enough college credits to receive them this year/semester. I come from a low income family and money is at a minimum at the moment. I would really hate to have to stay home this semester instead of putting forward the brains and intelligence that I have to get my degree that I deserve so much. I know I have what it takes it’s just the money that is a setback for me right now. I refuse to let this setback discourage me at all and I will keep fighting and trying until there are no more options left. My family is so proud of me for already completing my first year and they’re so excited for me to be able to start my second year. I believe in God and I know that he would not bring me this far to forsake me or leave me and I just need to keep the faith. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you sat here and read this far I thank you for your time and I hope you have a blessed day. If you do decide you want to help me, my cash-app tag is $LakenyaDorsey . The photo that will pop up is a picture of me from my high school graduation day.
