I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Kikuyu Community College, 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 $750.
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 Kikuyu Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $750 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $390
• Final term tuition: $290
• Exam and lab fees: $35
• Textbooks and materials: $35
Thanks for reading all this.

Best of luck, Athumani. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Thinking of you, Athumani. Shared it with a few friends. After 12 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
You're not alone, Athumani. Study hard! My husband and I read this together. Blessings
You're not alone, Athumani. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
