I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at the Los Angeles Institute of Technology, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,800. 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 $2,800 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $130 • Textbooks and materials: $200 • Final term tuition: $2,470 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Eli
