Jinja
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at the Jinja Institute of Technology, and I'm two terms 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 $700. 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. The payment will go directly to the the Jinja Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $700 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $35 • Final term tuition: $330 • Outstanding tuition balance: $335 Thank you so much.

                      Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Hồ Chí Minh City so I could bring a meal.
