I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at Los Angeles Polytechnic, and I'm one term 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 $5,000. 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 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 $5,000 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,900 • Final term tuition: $2,600 • Exam and lab fees: $250 • Textbooks and materials: $250 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

    Sending strength, Christopher. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. We're a small family in Mardan but we're thinking of you.

      hang in there, Christopher. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

      • Sajib Sumon Mukherjee

        Hope it all works out, Christopher. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. After 12 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Naples.
