I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at San Diego Polytechnic, 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 $2,800.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction average, and my department head 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 San Diego Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $2,800 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,200
• Final term tuition: $1,100
• Exam and lab fees: $130
• Textbooks and materials: $370

Stay strong, Lourdes. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend!
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of San Diego!
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
