Lola's graduation gift/college fund

Lola valmistui tänä keväänä amerikkalaisesta high schoolista ja aloittaa syksyllä yliopisto-opinnot Pennsylvaniassa. Koska sekä äidin- että isänpuoleinen suku asuu kaukana, emme pidä Lolalle lakkiaisjuhlia. Halusimme kuitenkin antaa mahdollisuuden muistaa Lolaa näin netin kautta. Kaikki lahjoitukset menevät suoraan Lolan tulevien opintojen maksamiseen. Amerikassa opiskelu ei ole ilmaista ja opiskelijat joutuvat ottamaan jopa kymmenien tuhansien dollarien opintolainat maksaakseen opinnot, ja myös vanhemmat joutuvat tukemaan paljon mikä on luonnollisesti monelle perheelle raskas taloudellinen taakka. Pienikin avustus auttaa, joten sydämellinen kiitos teille jotka haluatte Lolaa muistaa.

Lola is a very bright and gifted young lady who is graduating from Delaware Academy in Delhi, NY, on June 24, 2017. She has been accepted to Grove City College in Pennsylvania where she will begin her studies in August 2017. Most of her extended family live far away (either in Finland or different parts of the US) and can't make it to a party, so we are setting up an online graduation/college fund for Lola so that those who'd like to celebrate her graduation and help fund her studies are able to donate to her. Everything gifted to Lola goes towards her tuition and necessary supplies at Grove City College.

Lola is a great student with a special interest in history, language, and the arts. She is very imaginative and unique which shows in her many creative pursuits such as singing, acting, and dancing. Dance especially has been a great passion of hers for many years as she has trained and competed in various styles. Lola recently placed first with a senior contemporary solo in a regional dance competition and was invited to nationals but is unable to attend. She has also been a part of many theater productions, and is a beautiful singer.

Grove City College is a private Christian college with an excellent academic track record. In college, Lola intends to pursue the arts by continuing to dance, and minoring in theater. She is currently undecided on her major and is weighing different options. There are so many paths she could take, and with her determination and talent, we know she can tackle anything.

Lola is the oldest of four children. She was born in Finland and is fluent in Finnish. In her free time, she loves to sing and play the ukulele to Elliot, her Maltese dog. She also enjoys trimming people's eyebrows.

Thank you for supporting Lola!
