Desperately in Need of Money to Complete College Degree
posted on Oct 4, 2005 (modified on Oct 4, 2005)
Each morning, we all awake to innumerable challenges to overcome and tasks to accomplish. Sometimes it is a challenge to get out of bed from lack of sleep, or it is a challenge to get out of debt and live stress free; but within each of us, there is a driving force compelling us to rise above these challenges and complete the tasks at hand. For those of you who were blessed to receive a college degree and not worry about paying tuition in addition to managing 23 credits simultaneously, continue reading. This is my reality, the evolving story of female engineering student faced with the challenge of how to pay for tuition and attain the long – desired dream of receiving a college degree. Every morning I awake to this challenge of paying my tuition before my classes are cancelled, before my meal plan is denied, and before I’m forced to move off campus and take a Leave of Absence; but my driving force to finish my degree compels me to search for new ways of financing my education. Hence, this is my reason for creating this website, to seek assistance in my most desperate time of need.
I am currently a senior in college majoring in electrical engineering. This is my sixth week of school and unfortunately, I have a balance on my account of $8000 dollars, and I do not have a single textbook for any of my courses. My financial aid did not cover the cost of my tuition this semester, and if my balance is not paid immediately I will be forced to take a Leave of Absence for this semester. In fact, the deadline to resolve this issue quickly approaches. My family is unable to help me because of unexpected expenses such as medical bills and other debt. I am currently searching for part – time work to make extra money, but by the time I earn enough to pay my tuition I will probably have to leave school. I have been denied twice for outside loans because I have not established credit and lenders will not approve me. I cannot ask someone in my family to co-sign because of their own debt situation. I truly look forward to finishing my degree. I will be the first person in my family to actually complete college and I am doing everything possible with the help of the Higher Power to accomplish this goal. If anyone reading this message is able to help me get out of this situation by their generous donations and / or loan in which I offer to pay interest, I thank you in advance. I know that either you or someone you know was once in this predicament. Your generosity during this stressful time is greatly appreciated. No good deed passes without reward in this world. Your assistance in aiding me to complete my education and advance into the prosperous and professional career of engineering will reap plenty of benefits.
