I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Tacoma Community College, and I'm two terms 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 $2,200.
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 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 $2,200 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,850
• Textbooks and materials: $260
• Exam and lab fees: $90
With deep gratitude,
Byung-hun

is there anything that isn't money that would help Byung-hun?
Stay strong, Byung-hun. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. All the best
Thanks for sharing this, Byung-hun. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 13 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything
Thinking of you and your family, Byung-hun. Hope you get there. Don't give up. God bless.
