Hi Kathrenzales,
I can understand that the course fee is overwhelming. All parents will not want to see their children out of school. What course are you studying at the moment? I would suggest getting a part time job that does not require any specific skills to work. If there is a chance to get a job in a field that matches your course of study, then go for it. The work will benefit you one way or another. Hope that you can make it because it would be a pity to have come this far and let go of it...all the best ya.

i cant't have a part time job since my sked is 7:30am to 7:30pm. i woke evrymorning at 4am and be at home 9pm. my homw is really far from school so most of my time is for travelling. i really don't have time for part time jobs. also,i might not have time for studying.

I actually worked full time when I was in college. My classes starts at 10:30 AM and ends at 8:30PM. My work schedule is 9PM to 5AM.
Your in the Philippines as well so you could try to find a part time job. Why not try looking for a call center that offers a part time job? Or full time probably, you could work during the graveyard shift. Or why not try working at fastfood joints? They always prioritize students and they will adjust to your schedule.
There's lots of ways. If you have the will then there will be a way. ^_^
good luck!

I think your parents would rather see you finish school then stop 2 years shy of graduating. Just tough it out and stay strong and maybe to help with personal expenses try to get a part time job. I recommend getting one on campus because it cuts down transportation costs and makes going to work and school much easier.
Good luck! I'm going through a similar situation as well. Stay strong and study hard!

i am not sure about the scholarships in the phillipines, but what i would reccomend doing is seeing if there are any scholarships for a specific field you are going into. for example i know in america i know there is a teaching scholarship called "the promise" where you promise to teach for 2 years in the state your school is in and you can get all tuition payed for.

One good way I think, is for you to seek for a part time job which will be not be a conflict with your studies. That is what I did when I was still in college and got a problem in money.Another thing is why not try to borrow money from your relatives or friends? For sure after you finish college, you can get a good job and will be able to pay for your debt, right?Don't give up. Always pray to God.Keep on knocking of your friend's door and for sure they will help you get out of your problem. Good luck with your studies. I know you can make it.
