Good morning, afternoon, or evening!

My name is Madeline, but I go by Madie. I am 22 years old and live completely independently on my own. I work two jobs, a full time job Monday through Friday 7am-4pm, and I bartend/waitress from 4:30pm-12am on weekends and alternating weekdays. I am in my last year of college and have been met with an ultimatum. Come up with the last of my next semester dues before spring term starts or else I won’t receive my Bachelors Degree. I am majoring in Secondary Education – Mathematics with a minor in English, I am hoping to be an amazing teacher one day, but unfortunately my student loans have maxed out and I was just informed I was not picked for any additional scholarships for the year. I’ve already extended my college years beyond just 4 years and have used my financial assistance through my school scholarship I got when I was first accepted. I’m really wanting to graduate this spring so that I can get my teaching license and be ready to go and teach beginning of next school year, but I need the financial assistance. I’m very good at budgeting and saving but with living on my own in this economy right now, all the money I make at both of my jobs isn’t enough to have a good bit left over to save for this in time. If you think you’d be able to help please donate, we need teachers and I want to be employed in a job I love and won’t have to work two jobs anymore!
