Embakasi
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at Embakasi Community College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $650. 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 Embakasi Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $650 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $260 • Final term tuition: $330 • Exam and lab fees: $30 • Textbooks and materials: $30 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Njoroge
