Samuel's final semester of an electrical engineering diploma in Manila

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at Manila Polytechnic, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $300. 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 Manila Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $300 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $15 • Textbooks and materials: $25 • Final term tuition: $260 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
