I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Laredo University, and I'm one term 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 $1,750. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 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 Laredo University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,750 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $220 • Exam and lab fees: $110 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,420 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Lucy

          Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
