I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at the Santarém Institute of Technology, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,150. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction average, and my professor has written in support of my application for a payment plan. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility. I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then help the next student. The payment will go directly to the the Santarém Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,150 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $660 • Final term tuition: $340 • Exam and lab fees: $40 • Textbooks and materials: $110 Thank you so much. - Aline

    Stay strong, Aline. Shared it with a few friends. After 13 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Santarém
