I'm a 16-year-old kiwi with dreams and ambitions just like you were, don't you remember wanting someone to take a chance on you. Would you help me?

Hi, I'm an academic kid who is fundraising to enable an incredible and exciting opportunity to attend Summer School at the prestigious Oxford University, where I have been accepted this coming July. I'm been granted acceptance to study Classics and stay in the college of Christ Church at Oxford University.

You're probably wondering why....

I don't expect I would ever be able to afford, never less be accepted into Oxford University as an undergraduate, competing against like-minded individuals from wealthy families, all over the world. This is as close as I can get to a dream come true. My family originates from England, and I would also like to reconnect with them, during my stay in England, family members I haven't seen in years who I've only talked to on Facebook since. Studying Classics, we intend to go sightseeing at all the great and old architecture from dead civilisations. An experience which I toss and turn all night thinking about. I'm a good student, academic and hardworking, I've just finished NCEA Exams and are awaiting those results but before I even went into exams I had passed NCEA with 64 Excellence Credits and 19 Merit Credits. I'm hoping my exams endorse me with Excellence, the highest NCEA Level 1 Qualification. I'm smart enough, I just don't have the means to get there, my family supports me but cannot fund this expedition.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
