I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Los Angeles Polytechnic, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,650. 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 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $3,650 goes: • Final term tuition: $1,500 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,800 • Textbooks and materials: $350 With deep gratitude, Bennett

            Hope it all works out, Bennett. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. After 25 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

            • Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 21 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.

              • I hope things turn around soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.

                • Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. Greetings from Bronx.
