Oakland
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Oakland State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,350. 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 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $3,350 goes: โ€ข Final term tuition: $2,850 โ€ข Exam and lab fees: $290 โ€ข Textbooks and materials: $210 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Cali this morning. Thinking of Oakland.

    • Yonas Zewdie

      Hope things get better soon, Chloe. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Faisalabad.

      • Tejaswini E. Chowdary

        take care. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Bacoor so I could bring a meal

        • Sฦกn An Tieu

          Stay strong, Chloe. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
