I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Moscow Community 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 $1,200.
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 Moscow Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $50
• Final term tuition: $800
• Outstanding tuition balance: $350
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Stay strong, Nikolai. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
