Adama
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at the Adama Institute of Technology, and I'm one term 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 $350. 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 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 the Adama Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $350 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $40 • Final term tuition: $260 • Textbooks and materials: $50 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

    rooting for you. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Wish I lived closer to Brescia so I could bring a meal.
