I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Fortaleza Community College, and I'm one semester 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 $1,550.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction average, and my faculty supervisor 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 Fortaleza Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $840
• Final term tuition: $560
• Exam and lab fees: $70
• Textbooks and materials: $80
Thanks for reading all this.

Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to San Antonio so I could bring a meal.
Praying for you, Beatriz. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Fortaleza
Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Sent it to 18 people at work.
Hang in there, Beatriz. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
