One semester away: help Lester graduate from Makati Community College

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at Makati Community College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $650. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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 Makati Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $650 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $195 • Final term tuition: $320 • Exam and lab fees: $60 • Textbooks and materials: $75 If you're reading this, thank you.
