I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Syracuse State College, and I'm two terms 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 $5,950. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 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 $5,950 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $230 • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,350 • Final term tuition: $3,370 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Adrián

    Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!

      Rooting for you. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.

        Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Dallas this morning. Thinking of Syracuse.

          Thinking of you, Adrián. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in 6th of October City donated after I showed her your page. God bless.

            shared this with my family. After 18 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything
