The Story and the Value of your Contribution
I first decided to pursue my graduate degree 4 years ago when my biggest challenge was receiving acceptance into some of the best architecture schools. After I was accepted at Columbia University, I went through two years of my education, receiving new loans each year to support my tuition and living costs. Unfortunately, I have not been able to secure a loan for my final year because of the economic pressures banks have undergone. I now have to raise money for my tuition in order to begin school this Fall.
I am fortunate for many things that have happened in my life, but I have always fought to achieve what I desired most. I would like to start contributing back to society and culture through architectural practice. I want to complete my education so that I can explore notions of the built environment pertaining to environmental and cultural ecologies and how our environments can influence the psychology of human beings.
I am using my photography work as the prizes for this raffle because they are a small part of something I have made that I can give back in return for your support. Photographs are a construct of space within a 2-Dimensional plane. They are my first pieces as an architect. They are also the beginnings of how I would like to make a living. Through Photography and Architecture, I want to contribute to society and our culture. I now have a limited amount of time to raise enough money for my Fall and Spring Semester. Your contribution means the world to me. All it takes is $12 from you and a small mass of people to help me finish my final year of school.
Thank you for your Support. It is greatly appreciated!
