Sheila Ochojska: New Creatives Arts Supplies and First Concert

I am very thankful for receiving this money from this wonderful experience. I am deeply honoured and grateful for your generous support.

This bursary made a significant difference and I was saving up money for this lovely Lana Del Ray concert for months but it never seemed enough. Finally that I was able to pay for the ticket I had some money leftover which was incredible!

It made a grand change in my studies as I was able to buy packs of flashcards for my uncreative lessons. I was able to prepare for PPE's without using some other material that would most likely not hold up or even use other methods that I'm not quite fond of.

For my adored creative side of my school timetable I have gotten; oil pastels, paintbrushes and water colours. With this new equipment I'm able to create more pieces and have fun with the new oil pastel colours that don't turn brown. I don't have many Medias at home so mostly I borrowed things, which weren't the best quality, from school. I was already able to expand the variety of pieces I was able to produce.

The main purchase was the Lana Del Ray tickets. I have been her fan since I could remember her aesthetic and the way her music just sounds makes me feel very feminine. Her songs are like cinematic dreams-lush, melancholic and drenched in emotion. They way her music blends across from vintage Americana and modern sadness creates a melody both nostalgic and timeless.

Which this leaves me to thank you again as I am finally able to experience the dream of going to a concert and it being Lana's.
