I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at Paarl 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 $1,250. 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 academic advisor 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 Paarl Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,250 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $670 • Final term tuition: $500 • Exam and lab fees: $80 I hope life is good to you.

    Hope things get better soon, Suren. Hope you get there. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Paarl

    • Rohan ShahQuestion

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

      • Suren G. MokoenaOwnerAnswer

        Outstanding tuition balance is $670 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.

    • Danielle B. Richards

      So sorry you're going through this, Suren. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      • Aarón F. CarrilloQuestion

        is there anything that isn't money that would help Suren?

        • Suren G. MokoenaOwnerAnswer

          Thank you. If you're in Paarl I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.

      • Rania Shaker

        wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.

        • Subramanian K. Rajan

          stay strong, Suren. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. We're a small family in Zanzibar City but we're thinking of you.

          • Aparecida Bruna Vieira

            Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Paarl
