Hello, I'm a third-year engineering student at a private college in Punjab, still riding the high of admission after grinding JEE Mains and falling just short of the cutoff—endless nights poring over notes by our village's lone bulb in rural Punjab, IIT dreams fading but this B.Tech my solid fallback. It's about coding solutions and circuits for stuff like reliable farm pumps; I'm all in on graduating next year to grab an IT role and pull my family from the edge.

But cash-wise, it's relentless. Full classes mean I squeeze in one part-time gig: tutoring Class 10 physics evenings for 200 a session, enough for hostel food and basics, but tuition hits 50k per semester—due in two weeks. Dad's small auto shop patched tractors to fund my start, but last winter's floods ruined roads and his gear; no fixes, no pay for months. Mom stays home, stitching phulkari dupattas for neighbors at 60 bucks each while minding my two little brothers. Their "beta, keep going" keeps me upright, but dodging bills means skipped meals and pawning Mom's old earrings for pennies.

I'm doubled down on finishing this—6-7 LPA stability to send back for Dad's tools, brothers' fees, a dry roof. I've tapped Punjab govt scholarships, college aid, even odd freelance Arduino sketches online for 400-500 a pop when the net holds. Costs climb, exams crush with no rest, but I push. City roommates splurge; I just grind. It's hazy ahead, but I'll fight through—books, shifts, forms. My parents staked it all on me; no quitting. One day, I'll graduate, fix the shop, and build us up. Any help with fees would change everything right now.
