Jonas Antanaitis hasn't added a story.
I'm Jonas, a 16 year old teenager currently studying for BTEC
Sport
level 3 Diploma in college . My family consists of 5
members of which
3 are children (including me) who are being
loved and taken care of in
the capacity of my parents. My parents
are working mainly my dad and give us support
with our education
and clubs outside the school. I started playing
basketball about
3 years ago, before that I used to play just for fun.
Since then
I started playing it seriously, I have been training hard
and I
have improved a lot and I would really like to continue
training
hard and purposefully. I am really enjoying playing
basketball and
spend most/all of my free time on it. Currently I
am playing for a
national league team called Newham Youngbloods
and I am playing for my
college team. I have been thinking of
developing it to something more
and I have decided to look up on
internet for something where I can
get to a higher level when I
finish the college. So l looked up for
universities and the ways
I could get to the USA basketball
universities.
I found a page called InTuition Scholarships. This is
a
programme for the sports people who want to play the sport they
like
professionally. This programme includes a 10-day showcase in
Orlando,
Florida. There you play and train with other people who
came from all
over the world. At this showcase coaches from all
the cities and
sports universities in the USA gather to see the
players showing their
skills and talents. There are about 200
players willing to get
invitations from the coaches and
scholarships to the universities.
There you are guaranteed to get
at least 9 scholarships from the
universities.
To get to that showcase I would need to pay
approximately
£600-£700 for the flight and it is about £2300 for the
showcase
which includes the pick up from the airport, meals
and
accommodation. The total amount of money I would need to
raise is
about £3000. My parents understand my dream and are
trying to help in
every way for me to achieve it but they do not
have an opportunity of
helping me financially to save money for
this showcase. At the moment
I am in full time education and I am
trying to find a job but not all
the employers take the hours
that I can work. It would be grateful if
you would put any help
towards my dream.
God bless you.
I will add the videos very soon.
The money would be transferred
to my dads account.
