Yolanda is two terms away from finishing a teaching qualification but is blocked from enrolling by an unpaid balance of $1,500.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at Medellín State College, and I'm two terms 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 $1,500.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 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 $1,500 goes:
• Final term tuition: $950
• Outstanding tuition balance: $510
• Textbooks and materials: $40
If you're reading this, thank you.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Augsburg.
Keep going, Yolanda. It takes guts to ask. Well done!
