I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at Munich Polytechnic, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,950.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 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 Munich Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $4,950 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,200
• Final term tuition: $2,450
• Exam and lab fees: $185
• Textbooks and materials: $115

Keep going, Maximilian. Looking forward to the next update.
you're not alone. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn.
Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Jakarta Barat.
