Orlando

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at Orlando Community College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,850. 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 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $2,850 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,450 • Textbooks and materials: $105 • Exam and lab fees: $295 Thanks for reading all this. - Beatriz

So sorry you're going through this, Beatriz. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
