I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Orlando Polytechnic, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,600. 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 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 Orlando Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $5,600 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,850 • Final term tuition: $2,150 • Exam and lab fees: $310 • Textbooks and materials: $290 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Violet
