Colette's final semester of an accounting degree in Paris
Colette has worked and saved for five years to study an accounting degree; a $4,150 gap now stands between her and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Paris Community College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,150.
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 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 $4,150 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,350
• Final term tuition: $1,400
• Exam and lab fees: $270
• Textbooks and materials: $130
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

take care, Colette. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Thinking of Paris.
your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Paris.
Sending strength, Colette. Study hard! My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
