Hialeah
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Hialeah Community 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 $4,200. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $4,200 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,950 • Final term tuition: $1,650 • Exam and lab fees: $250 • Textbooks and materials: $350 I hope life is good to you. - Sebastian

      Hang in there, Sebastian. Study hard! We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.

        So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Toronto

        • Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Ciudad de México.

          • Wishing you peace, Sebastian. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend

            • It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
