I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Allentown Polytechnic, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,800. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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 Allentown Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $3,800 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,150 • Final term tuition: $1,250 • Exam and lab fees: $240 • Textbooks and materials: $160 Thank you for reading my story. - Wesley

            rooting for you, Wesley. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
