I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at Paris Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,800. 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. The payment will go directly to the Paris Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $3,800 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,200 • Final term tuition: $1,150 • Exam and lab fees: $185 • Textbooks and materials: $265 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Geneviève
