I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Toronto Community College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,550. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 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 $3,550 goes: • Final term tuition: $1,000 • Textbooks and materials: $250 • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,300 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Toronto.

    • Hang in there, Corinne. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
