I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Iztapalapa Polytechnic, and I'm one term 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 $500.
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 department head 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 $500 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $55
• Outstanding tuition balance: $340
• Textbooks and materials: $105
Thanks for reading all this.

Thanks for sharing this, Lorenzo. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Ikeja.
So sorry you're going through this, Lorenzo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Naples but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Keep going, Lorenzo. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
best of luck, Lorenzo. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
