I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at the Manila Institute of Technology, and I'm one term 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 $950. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class 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 the Manila Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $950 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $330 • Final term tuition: $530 • Exam and lab fees: $60 • Textbooks and materials: $30 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

      Hang in there, Jocelyn. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Tema but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Manila.
