Graduation

I am very independent and I hate to ask for help. But I really am in dire need for help to graduate. I am currently a graduating senior at Howard University, majoring in Political Science. I have attended Howard for three years and last summer I was told that I could graduate an entire year early. I have also maintained a job in order to pay my balance out of pocket each semester. I have always maintained over a 3.5 GPA while working and participating in on- campus activities and organizations.

This semester I have a balance that I have been working to pay and I was informed today that if I do not pay the rest of my balance I will not be able to graduate or gain my degree. This is important to me because I have accepted my job offer in the fall to be an ESOL teacher. It is senior year and it is the home stretch. I would be grateful and it would be most appreciated for any help that I can receive to help me pay the balance by next week. I have been dedicated and I have worked hard to gain my education and I am determined to pay this $5,100 balance by next week.
