I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at Allentown State 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 $4,200. 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 Allentown State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $4,200 goes: • Final term tuition: $1,800 • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,300 • Exam and lab fees: $100 Thank you so much. - Paisley

          Thinking of you and your family, Paisley. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.

          • Hang in there, Paisley. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.

            • Rooting for you, Paisley. This could happen to any of us

              • Hope it all works out, Paisley. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

                • Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Allentown.
