Otávio's final semester of a degree in social work in Santos
Otávio is one term away from finishing a degree in social work but is blocked from enrolling by an unpaid balance of $1,300.
🇧🇷 Santos, São Paulo, Brazil730 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at the Santos Institute of Technology, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,300.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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 the Santos Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $700
• Final term tuition: $350
• Exam and lab fees: $100
• Textbooks and materials: $150

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Santos!
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from New Delhi.
Thanks for sharing this. Study hard! Blessings!
thinking of you and your family, Otávio. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Love from London.
Looking forward to the next update. After 11 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

Keep going, Otávio. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
