Gwangju
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Gwangju Community College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,600. 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $2,600 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $880 • Final term tuition: $1,550 • Exam and lab fees: $80 • Textbooks and materials: $90 Every share and every dollar helps.

          Thanks for sharing this, Soo-ah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Thủ Đức!

              Hope it all works out, Soo-ah. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn.
