I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at Houston Community College, and I'm one term 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 $7,000.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class average, and my faculty supervisor 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $7,000 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $85
• Outstanding tuition balance: $3,250
• Final term tuition: $3,665
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
