Half-Way Tree
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Half-Way Tree Polytechnic, 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 $1,050. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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. The payment will go directly to the Half-Way Tree Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,050 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $290 • Final term tuition: $620 • Exam and lab fees: $80 • Textbooks and materials: $60 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
