Seoul
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at Seoul State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,850. 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 professor 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 Seoul State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,850 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $640 • Final term tuition: $930 • Exam and lab fees: $80 • Textbooks and materials: $200 If you're reading this, thank you. - So-yeon

              Thank you. If you're in Seoul I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.

                Hope things get better soon, So-yeon. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My husband and I read this together!
