Taylor sums it up

-

Teenager Vitoria Mario couldn’t afford to g go to uni to study maths – until T Taylor Swift entered the equ equation.

T The pop superstar do donated £23,000 to her Go GoFundMe page to help Vit Vitoria smash the £40,000 ta target she had set to co cover her accommodat­io tion, food and books at W Warwick University.

Vitoria moved to L London from Portugal fo four years ago, leaving be behind her family. When she arrived, she couldn’t spea speak English, but has gone on to get two A*s and an A in her A-levels. She’s one smart girl but not eligible for any grants, so had to try her luck online.

She wrote she was a “black girl with a dream” and that dream was to be a mathematic­ian, which would also help her family have a better life. And Taylor paid out to make that possible.

But like Vitoria said, her story is not unique. So many talented kids from disadvanta­ged background­s can only dream of going to uni.

And it would need more than TayTay’s piggy bank to sort that out... perhaps a government that wants to give everyone an equal chance at life?
