I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Anaheim University, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,500. 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 $3,500 goes: • Final term tuition: $3,150 • Exam and lab fees: $200 • Textbooks and materials: $150 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Jayden

    so sorry you're going through this, Jayden. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

    • Daniel L. Delgado

      Sending strength, Jayden. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best!

      • Alexandra Wilkins

        sending good thoughts. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
