Guarulhos
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at Guarulhos University, and I'm one semester 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 $1,400. 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 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. The payment will go directly to the Guarulhos University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,400 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $410 • Final term tuition: $850 • Exam and lab fees: $55 • Textbooks and materials: $85 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Wish I lived closer to Ludhiana so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Patras.

    • Nnamdi Musa Okafor

      Wishing you the best, Ronaldo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

      • Robert F. Dean

        thanks for sharing this, Ronaldo. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

        • Russell A. Wright

          It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Nashik

          • Dipu Zahid Rahman

            hope it all works out, Ronaldo. This could happen to any of us.

            • Russell P. Sutton

              good luck, Ronaldo. Shared this with my family. After 14 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

              • Bhavna R. Dubey

                Praying for you, Ronaldo. Looking forward to the next update
