I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at Cali Polytechnic, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,150. 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 professor 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 Cali Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,150 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $690 • Final term tuition: $420 • Exam and lab fees: $35 • Textbooks and materials: $5 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • how is Mauricio doing now?

    • Hope it all works out, Mauricio. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. All the best.

      • Best of luck, Mauricio. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Birmingham but we're thinking of you.
