I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Mumbai State College, and I'm one term 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 $850. 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 professor 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $850 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $270 • Final term tuition: $540 • Exam and lab fees: $20 • Textbooks and materials: $20 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
