I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Houston University, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,750.
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.
The payment will go directly to the Houston University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $4,750 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $80
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,600
• Final term tuition: $2,070
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Houston.
Wishing you the best, Skylar. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in São Paulo this morning. Take care!
Keep going, Skylar. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Grand Rapids.
Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Townsville so I could bring a meal.
