One semester away: help Rocío graduate from Ciudad de México Polytechnic

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Ciudad de México Polytechnic, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,400. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class average, and my academic advisor 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 Ciudad de México Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,400 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $610 • Final term tuition: $660 • Exam and lab fees: $35 • Textbooks and materials: $95 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
