Gangnam
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at Gangnam Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,000. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 average, and my academic advisor 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 Gangnam Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $4,000 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,450 • Final term tuition: $2,350 • Exam and lab fees: $75 • Textbooks and materials: $125 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Jin-ah

      You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. After 17 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Gangnam
