I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Albuquerque Polytechnic, 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 $2,800.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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 Albuquerque Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $2,800 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $195
• Exam and lab fees: $260
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,345
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Palermo.
Good luck. Study hard! Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
Take care, Dũng. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dũng.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. textbooks and materials is the biggest at $195. Happy to explain more.
Good luck. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
Take care, Dũng. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Thinking of you, Dũng. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Nuremberg
Good luck with the exams, you've got this. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Albuquerque.
Best of luck, Dũng. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up. Love from Iztapalapa.
Rooting for you, Dũng. Study hard! Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Cairo.
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. Love from Mandaue!
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Grand Rapids
You're not alone, Dũng. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. After 7 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
