Hello my name is Michi, I hope this message finds you well. I am a high school Junior and have maintained a consistent 4.4 GPA while working with my mom in her salon. I recently attended the University of Miami for a summer entrepreneurship program where I was able to pitch my business model in nails to professors, attorney's and other entrepreneurs.
I want to share a new and exciting opportunity that I am eager to pursue, and to humbly request your support in making it a reality. I have been accepted into a study abroad program that will provide me with the chance to broaden my educational experience, immerse myself in a new culture, and further develop my academic and linguistic skills. However, the total cost of the program is $7,950 plus other related expenses is out of my household budget. I am reaching out to those who may be willing to contribute to this incredible journey.
This experience will allow me to continue growing academically and personally, and I believe it will significantly enhance my ability to contribute meaningfully to my community and my future career. I know that this opportunity is one that will shape my future in profound ways, and your support would mean the world to me.
