I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Iztapalapa University, 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 $750.
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 professor 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 $750 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $80
• Exam and lab fees: $40
• Outstanding tuition balance: $630
With deep gratitude,
Iván

so sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 10 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Alicante
Stay strong, Iván. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. After 17 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
