I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at Bristol Community College, 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 $4,900. 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 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 $4,900 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $260 • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,650 • Final term tuition: $1,990 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Caleb
