I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Chicago Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,750. 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 department head 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 Chicago Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,750 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $260 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,300 • Textbooks and materials: $190 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Sharon

    wishing you the best, Sharon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care

    • Adrian J. Bennett

      Wishing you peace, Sharon. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money

      • Ritu Chopra

        good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Chicago
