I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at the Fresno Institute of Technology, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,600. 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 $4,600 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,200 • Final term tuition: $2,950 • Exam and lab fees: $180 • Textbooks and materials: $270 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. After 11 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care

          Sending love. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.

              keep going. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
