I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Thiruvananthapuram Community College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $500.
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 Thiruvananthapuram Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $500 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $400
• Textbooks and materials: $45
• Exam and lab fees: $55
If you're reading this, thank you.

any update on how things are going in Thiruvananthapuram?
Sending strength, Mahesh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 36 people at work.
Keep going. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I'll check back for the next update
best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 7 people at work. Greetings from Bronx.
