I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Odesa State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,000. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 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 Odesa State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,000 goes: โ€ข Outstanding tuition balance: $300 โ€ข Final term tuition: $590 โ€ข Exam and lab fees: $55 โ€ข Textbooks and materials: $55 I hope life is good to you.
