Hello everyone! If you’ve come across my post I think the universe/god is answering my prayers. Thank you!
I am currently studying abroad in South Korea. I’m from Canada, and I’m really passionate about being here. I’ve fallen in love with the country and I am beyond grateful for my experience so far. I am taking a 6 level course to reach fluency in the Korean language. This will allow me to study at a Korean University in the Korean language, work, and live here. I am currently in level 2, and finished my first semester (level 1) with perfect attendance and an average of 91.
I did my best to save up as much as I could and make it last! But unfortunately I am running low on money, only relying on my credit card to extend time before my mom can send a little money. But I’m falling behind because she can’t give enough, and I don’t want to put that kind of pressure on her or ask for too much since she currently is still managing her divorce and I want her to still have freedom financially instead of giving it to me. My dad is very fearful about money and therefore is not continuingly supporting me and my studies. I’m hesitating to buy food nowadays and have tried doing an extended fast to save some cash but it’s a bit hard!
I can’t legally work here in South Korea until my visa gets renewed and also until I pass a proficiency test in Korean, which I am in the works of doing. So I just need a little more money to buy me a little more time.
I could go on forever and ever about how much I’ve learned from living in a new country. It has been such a beautiful experience, I am so beyond grateful I got the opportunity. It is my primary focus to continue studying and to become a proficient speaker of the language to connect and understand Korean people and their culture.
With the money donated I will be using it for rent/groceries and tuition. I have my third semester paid for and am studying hard to apply for a scholarship later on if there are any available. I was rejected by Canada student loans and grants because of my abroad status so this is my hope!
If you decide to support me, thank you very much. My goal in the future is also to give back when I am able to do so.
