Olumide's final semester of a pharmacy diploma in Onitsha

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Onitsha Community College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $250. 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $250 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $210 • Exam and lab fees: $30 • Textbooks and materials: $10 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Olumide
