Ryan's final semester of a diploma in hospitality management in St. Petersburg

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at St. Petersburg Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,600. 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $2,600 goes: • Final term tuition: $2,200 • Textbooks and materials: $195 • Exam and lab fees: $205 Thanks for reading all this.
