    Здравейте,

    Казвам се Моника и още като дете прекарвах летата си, измисляйки и разказвайки истории – понякога като малки представления в двора на село, друг път между страниците на тетрадките ми за домашно. Тогава не го осъзнавах, но тази "игра" е началото на това, което днес определя посоката ми: желанието да наблюдавам, да разбирам и да разказвам.

    България е среда, в която много теми остават недоизказани – социални, политически, човешки. С времето започнах да осъзнавам колко голямо значение има това кои истории остават неразказани и как това влияе на една общност. Това ме насочи към журналистиката и към търсенето на начини да разказвам по-честно, по-дълбоко и с повече внимание към детайла. Завърших Американския университет в България през 2023 г., където развих интереса си към писането, киното, визуалната антропология и работата с различни форми на съдържание.

    Днес съм приета в Graduate School of Journalism към UC Berkeley – една от най-престижните програми по журналистика в света. Това е място, известно със своята независимост, високи професионални стандарти и среда, която насърчава мисленето, въпросите и смелите теми. За мен това не е просто университет, а възможност да попадна в среда, която ще ме предизвика да израсна – професионално и лично.

    Пътят дотук не беше лесен. Успях да спечеля две стипендии, които покриват част от обучението ми, но въпреки това ми остават още 13 000 евро, за да мога успешно да завърша двугодишното обучение. Това е сумата, която в момента стои между мен и тази възможност.

    Решението да създам тази кампания не беше лесно, но вярвам, че понякога е важно да дадеш шанс на хората да станат част от нещо, което има значение за теб. За мен това обучение е следващата естествена стъпка – начин да надградя това, което съм започнала, и да го направя по-смислено и устойчиво във времето.

    Ако решиш да ме подкрепиш, ти помагаш не просто да стигна до един университет, а да продължа по път, който съм започнала преди години – с много работа, съмнения, малки победи и постоянство. Всяко дарение, независимо от размера, ме доближава до това да започна обучението си.

    Как искам да ви благодаря

    За мен тази кампания не е просто молба за подкрепа, а възможност да създам връзка и да върна нещо обратно. Затова ето и няколко малки начина да ви благодаря:

    • Дигитално подписана моя фотография-благодарствено писмо

    ENGLISH VERSION

     

    My name is Monika, and as a child I spent my summers making up and telling stories –sometimes as small performances in my grandparents’ yard in the countryside, other times across the pages of my school notebooks. At the time, I didn’t realize it, but that was the beginning of something that now defines my direction: the desire to observe, to understand, and to tell stories.

    Bulgaria is a place where many topics remain unspoken - social, political, deeply human. Over time, I began to understand how much it matters which stories are heard and which are not. This led me toward journalism and toward finding ways to tell stories more honestly, more deeply, and with greater attention to detail. I graduated from the American University in Bulgaria in 2023, where I developed my interests in writing, cinema, visual anthropology, and working across different forms of storytelling.

    Today, I have been accepted to the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California, Berkeley - one of the most prestigious journalism programs in the world. Berkeley is known for its independence, its high standards, and for challenging students to think critically and engage deeply with the world around them. For me, this is not just a university - it is an environment that can push me to grow, both professionally and personally, in ways that are difficult to access otherwise.

    The path to this point has not been easy. I have managed to secure two scholarships that cover part of my education, but I still need €13,000 to make this opportunity possible. This is the final step that stands between me and starting my Master’s degree.

    Creating this campaign was not an easy decision, but I also believe that sometimes it’s important to allow others to be part of something meaningful. For me, this next step is a continuation of a path I’ve been building for years -  with effort, uncertainty, small wins, and persistence.

    If you choose to support me, you’re not just helping me get to a university - you’re helping me continue something I’ve been working toward for a long time. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings me closer to being able to start.

    How I’d like to give back

    For me, this campaign is not just about asking for support – it’s about creating a connection and giving something back in return. Here are a few ways I’d like to thank you:

    €20
    • A signed photograph of mine as a digital thank-you note
    (You can view my work here: monicaboyadzhieva.squarespace.com)

    €50
    • Everything above +
    • A short bi-monthly email update about my life at UC Berkeley
    (If you’d like to receive it, please leave your email in the message section)

    €100+
    • Everything above +
    • A personalized video thank-you
    • My help on your project (video/photo editing)

    €250+
    • Everything above +
    • Credit in a future project or documentary film of mine
    • Early access to materials and/or rough cuts of my future work

    Every contribution truly matters to me – whether it’s €5 or more. If I’m not able to send a personalized thank-you to everyone, it’s simply because I want to give proper time and attention to those who choose one of the tiers above. But I’m genuinely grateful for every single form of support.
