Hello, my name is Carol; I am a university student. I have a credit for the university, which covered me up to certain college semesters; unfortunately (due to various situations that I will explain below), it has taken me longer than expected to finish my career. When I started my career, although I had a credit, I had to work to contribute to the stability of my home and to be able to attend classes and cover everything it requires. Sometime after I started, my family found out that my mother had cancer in the throat; the cancer was benign but required surgery and a lot of care. I couldn't be indifferent to that situation, so I had to focus on work, that's how I was putting off some subjects and falling behind in the semesters, to cover more work hours. Several semesters later my grandfather also fell ill and died, and my mother needed another operation; I've got a single-parent home, so we have no other financial support. I cannot say that these are all situations, I’ve been also suffering from strong anxiety that began a few years ago, and it has also affected me because some courses have represented a lot of difficulty for me, I constantly wondered if it was really good to do something; it's something that I'm still trying to handle and I'm also trying my best to get good grades and learn. I think I have deviated somewhat from the main point; this semester and the next (the last ones) I’ve to pay the university on my own, as the credit conditions stipulate it, but currently, with my salary, I cannot cover it completely and I haven’t found financial aid with which I can cover the money. I’m begging for this help, certainly with shame, because I’m the type of person who thinks that she should fix her mistakes alone and I certainly know that I’m getting what I deserve, perhaps I was very weak and should have tried harder, but I can't stop just because of the pain, I recognize that I need the help, even if it isn’t much, but any amount can help me finish my career and get a good job that gives me and to my family stability.
