I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Houston Polytechnic, and I'm one semester 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 $2,550.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 average, and my academic advisor 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 $2,550 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $195
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,150
• Exam and lab fees: $205
Glad we found this place.

Good luck, Chang-min. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Houston.
Thank you. If you're in Houston I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Guadalupe.
Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Houston.
Hope it all works out, Chang-min. I hope things turn around soon.
Hang in there, Chang-min. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up.
