Barranquilla
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Barranquilla State College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,900. 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 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 Barranquilla State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,900 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $790 • Final term tuition: $960 • Exam and lab fees: $60 • Textbooks and materials: $90 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

        Rooting for you, Rocío. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Barranquilla.

        • Sophie R. MendozaQuestion

          is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rocío.

          • Rocío L. FloresOwnerAnswer

            It's all in the list in the story. outstanding tuition balance is the big one at $790, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.

        • Ezekiel Oliver

              • Avery Hart

                good luck, Rocío. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Barranquilla.

                • Carol Reed

                  Hope things get better soon, Rocío. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Iztapalapa so I could bring a meal.
