I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at Petrópolis 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 $850. 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 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. The payment will go directly to the Petrópolis Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $850 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $320 • Final term tuition: $410 • Exam and lab fees: $100 • Textbooks and materials: $20 Thanks for being kind about this. - Valentina

    I hope things turn around soon. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Tacoma.

    • Hope it all works out. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My husband and I read this together.
