I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at Bakersfield Community College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,400.
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 Bakersfield Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $3,400 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,450
• Final term tuition: $1,600
• Exam and lab fees: $240
• Textbooks and materials: $110

So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Jacksonville this morning.
sending love. Study hard! Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
stay strong. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Coyoacán.
So sorry you're going through this, Maverick. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
take care, Maverick. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Wish I lived closer to Çankaya so I could bring a meal.
