I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at the Augsburg Institute of Technology, and I'm two terms 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 $3,900. 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 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 $3,900 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,300 • Exam and lab fees: $145 • Final term tuition: $2,455 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Elif

            Thinking of you. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Mysuru.
