Hadley has worked and saved for five years to study a teaching qualification; a $7,050 gap now stands between her and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at San Francisco State College, and I'm one term 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 $7,050. 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 department head 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 San Francisco State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $7,050 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $3,250 • Final term tuition: $3,100 • Exam and lab fees: $310 • Textbooks and materials: $390 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Hadley

    I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of San Francisco.

    • Sharmila Talukder

      Hope things get better soon, Hadley. Hope you get there.

        Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. God bless.
