Mercy's final semester of a teaching qualification in Caloocan

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at Caloocan Polytechnic, and I'm one semester 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 $1,000.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction 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 Caloocan Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $60
• Final term tuition: $600
• Outstanding tuition balance: $340
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
wishing you peace, Mercy. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in San Diego donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from San Diego.
You're not alone. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
