I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Aswan State College, and I'm two terms 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 $500. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 average, and my faculty supervisor 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 $500 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $390 • Textbooks and materials: $40 • Exam and lab fees: $70 Thank you for reading my story. - Tariq

    Wishing you peace, Tariq. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Aswan

    • Good luck. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I'll check back for the next update

      • You're not alone, Tariq. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.

        • so sorry you're going through this, Tariq. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Bandung donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Bandung!

          • Wishing you peace, Tariq. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
