I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Yonkers State College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,950. 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 faculty supervisor 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 Yonkers State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,950 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $210 • Textbooks and materials: $155 • Final term tuition: $1,585 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Julieta

    Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 14 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

    • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Mumbai.

      • Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Yonkers.

        • Keep going. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Don't give up.
