Hi everyone,
I'm reaching out for your support to help me start on an exciting new chapter of my life. For years, I've been captivated by the world of financial markets. It's not just about numbers for me; it's the intellectual challenge, the need to research and analyze, to view the world from a different lens – skills I honed during both my Bachelor's in Visual Communication (Design) and my recent Master's in MSC International Marketing. In fact, my academic journey has always involved deep dives and strategic thinking, preparing me for the fast-paced, dynamic environment of trading.
My fascination truly sparked when I received my very first salary in September 2021. I invested a small amount, just £20 (INR 2000), into a mutual fund, and seeing it grow by 11% in three months was a revelation. This wasn't just about money; it was about understanding markets, making informed decisions, and participating in something bigger. Recently, a chance encounter with a brochure for Educate2Trade at a London job fair – a brochure I almost forgot about until it resurfaced as I was clearing out – felt like a sign. Then, seeing their ad pop up on Instagram just as I was considering a financial trading certification – it felt like everything was aligning.
Now, fresh from my Master's degree, I know now is the time to pursue this long-held interest. At 26, I'm ready to take up the challenge and take the calculated risks needed to launch a career in financial trading before settling down. To make this transition successfully and gain the expert-level knowledge required, I'm determined to complete the Level 5 Diploma in Financial Trading with Educate2Trade.
While my background may seem diverse – from visual design to international marketing – the core skills are surprisingly transferable. My Master's degree, in particular, teaching me a rigorous approach to research and attention to detail, qualities absolutely crucial for navigating the complexities of financial markets. This diploma is the crucial bridge, providing the specialized skills and practical knowledge to turn my passion into a profession.
Coming from humble beginnings, I understand the value of hard work and the desire to build a better future. My dream is for financial trading to become my full-time career, whether at an institution or as a self-employed trader. And success for me isn't just personal gain. Inspired by figures like Simon Squib, who champions helping others achieve their dreams, my vision is to "give back" – to help others, just as I'm asking for help today. Imagine, if I can help even one person take their first step towards their dreams – that would be true success.
The cost of the course is £4500, and any contribution, no matter how small, will be received with eternal gratitude. I am currently at a point where I need to dedicate myself fully to studying for 12 weeks to truly absorb this diploma's content. Without full-time focus, success will be much harder to achieve. Your generosity will directly fund my tuition fees, enabling me to gain this invaluable qualification and kickstart my career. While I have managed to save enough to cover my basic living expenses during this study period, the course fee itself is a significant hurdle. Furthermore, I also have student loan repayments from my Master's degree in India, adding to the urgency of securing full-time employment as soon as possible after the diploma.
Please know that every single pound, every single donation, will be deeply appreciated and will contribute to building a life for myself and my family. You won't just be funding a diploma; you'll be investing in a dream, and in my commitment to pay it forward.
For anyone donating please reach out to me for details I want to be completely transparent.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering supporting my educational journey!
Best Regards,
Harsh Makhija
