Feira de Santana
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at the Feira de Santana Institute of Technology, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,650. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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 the Feira de Santana Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,650 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $35 • Final term tuition: $1,050 • Outstanding tuition balance: $565 Thanks for being kind about this. - Pedro

          Thinking of you and your family. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. After 8 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

          • Karim Ibrahim Youssef

            sending good thoughts, Pedro. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Manchester
