I am an ambitious young lady born in a family of five children .My mother was a nurse in our local dispensary and the sole bread winner since my father had been retrenched from the banking sector. Life became very difficult for us since my mother was overwhelmed by a shortage of finances. She had so much passion for education that she ensured that each and every member of the family was educated. She managed to educate me to university level where i earned a degree in bachelor of science in nursing. Unfortunately she succumbed to ovarian cancer few months before my graduation. My passion has been education and i managed to start a masters degree in epidemiology which i am pursuing today though through a partial scholarship. I am now in dire need of money to publish my thesis in a reknown journal for me to graduate this year and secure a job. I am also lucky to own a barber shop that offers services to the students.
The barber shop has been crucial to me since It gives me pocket money and other needs. The barber shop serves university students who are my neighbours are requesting for massaging services and facials.
I will use the amount for two purposes. I will introduce facial and massage services at the barber shop at a cost of 100 dollars and use 20 dollars to publish my thesis. The facial gels amount to 30dollars while as the moisturer equipment requires 70dollars. This will increase my number of customers and also enable me advance on my studies
