I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at Bergamo State College, and I'm two terms 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 $2,700. 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 faculty supervisor 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 Bergamo State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $2,700 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,550 • Final term tuition: $880 • Exam and lab fees: $155 • Textbooks and materials: $115 Thank you for reading my story.

      Hope it all works out, Chiara. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Tokyo.
