I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at Laredo State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,050. 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 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 Laredo State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $5,050 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,950 • Final term tuition: $2,650 • Exam and lab fees: $320 • Textbooks and materials: $130 Thanks for being kind about this. - Naveen

    Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from San Miguel de Tucumán
