It’s been four years since my father had nearly die in an accident. After his survival, I was forced to stop my college studies. Because of the accident, there are things which he could no longer do, and that includes working. My mother looked for a job which enables him to look for our father at the same time. I decided to help my mother, I applied as a saleslady. I was working for nearly three years when my father decided to start doing light jobs again. I’m still pinning my hope on education; I know that it’s the only way I could get to free us from poverty. I ask my parents if I could go back to school. I know that it’s hard financially but we can make it.
I quit my job and apply for a scholarship in one of the university in our town. The school grants me a student assistantship program wherein I am required to work everyday for a 21 units tuition fee. Sometimes, it’s difficult for me especially during enrollment. There are always conflicts between my working schedules and classes. There are times when we have to buy books or projects, to afford them I just skip meals and walk to and from the school. Even it’s hard, I endures them just to finish my education. But still, there are problems that arises, and that is our major problems. The school is expected to pay for only 21 units, further that we should carry the cost. Sometimes I am required to take 26 or more units. We couldn’t afford it so I just under load. Another problem is we still have to pay for my miscellaneous, we find it difficult to pay since my father has no permanent jobs. We were fortunate if he could found 3 to 4 days work in a week. My father is becoming weak again and he still had his ulcer which pains him almost everyday. We really have to pull together to make it through. Because of these, I am afraid if I could still continue without further support. I am excelling in class. Last semester, I was given recognition as one of the president’s lister - a prestigious award given for having outstanding grades in the university.
That is why I am asking for your good organization to please help me. I am asking for a miscellaneous fee support. I know that I could excel more if I would be given further help. I don’t want to waste the second chance given to me to continue my education. I just hope that with your help I could finished my long time dream.
