I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at São Paulo Community College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider 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 3.9 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 São Paulo Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $480
• Final term tuition: $940
• Exam and lab fees: $30
• Textbooks and materials: $50
Thank you so much.

Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Bronx.
