SOOOOOOOOO much has happened this past week. It's extremely unbelievable.
1st I was accepted into the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Bio-science Engineering program in Leuven, Belgium! Which makes me feel kinda cool because I've been accepted into a University abroad haha
AND ALSO probably the biggest accomplishment I will ever have (besides studying abroad) is becoming a GILMAN SCHOLAR! I practically cried my eyes out when I got the email, and I just can't believe it. I am literally still in awe.
In case you don't know about the Gilman Scholarship. Students who receive a Federal Pell Grant can apply for the scholarship. Students have a 1 in 3 chance in getting the scholarship. The application isn't very lengthy or difficult. But it does require time and a lot of heart. I am almost done with all the required paperwork for accepting the scholarship. Because of this scholarship I have almost met my fundraising goal for study abroad.
Because I am so close in meeting my goal, I need your help. Please spread the word about my gofundme account/profile. I am literally almost there! Please like, share the link and consider donating yourself at

Also, because of a scholarship I received from the College of Agriculture here at Texas A&M and donations from my gofundme account I have successfully paid for my flight to and from Belgium and my deposit to secure my spot on my study abroad trip!!! Thank you!
My flight takes off in 70 days!!
