I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at the Spanish Town 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 $1,500.
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 faculty supervisor 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 the Spanish Town Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $570
• Final term tuition: $850
• Exam and lab fees: $40
• Textbooks and materials: $40
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending strength, Paulette. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Rooting for you, Paulette. This could happen to any of us. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too
