Hello my name is Samaree Matthews , an inspiring 17-year-old straight-A student with big dreams and a heart full of determination. I aspire to become both a cybersecurity analyst and a social worker, using my skills to protect and uplift others. This year, I have been given a life-changing opportunity to attend the prestigious Youth Leadership Forum at Yale University—but I need your help to get there. After losing my mother at just 14, I have been driven to make her proud through hard work and perseverance. I love learning, gaming, and reading, and recently began my first job at Shake Shack while also interning in IT at Accenture. While juggling my second dual enrollment course at Nova Community College. In August, I will entering my senior year of high school and this opportunity will help me to prepare for college and beyond! Your donation, no matter the size, can help me take one step closer to her future. I would love your help in reaching Yale!
