Embakasi
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Embakasi Community College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,150. 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. The payment will go directly to the Embakasi Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,150 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $460 • Final term tuition: $600 • Exam and lab fees: $60 • Textbooks and materials: $30 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
