I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Seattle State College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,900. 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 department head 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 $2,900 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,650 • Textbooks and materials: $155 • Exam and lab fees: $95 Thank you for reading my story. - Adeline

      Outstanding tuition balance is $2,650 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.

    Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

    • Wishing you peace. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I hope September is when things finally get easier.

      • You're not alone, Adeline. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Don't give up. God bless.
