One barrier that I am currently facing is having an academic hold on my college account.Since getting a bad grade in a class,my GPA suffered greatly and I was not aware of the consequences.First thing was that I could not enroll in classes before a semester started without first having to talk to a counselor to let me take classes to bring my GPA up once again.The other thing is that I can no longer do ,as long as i have the hold ,is apply for financial aid,this implies that I have to pay for tuition out of pocket and that in specific is affecting my finances because as we all know classes are not cheap.Once I pay the classes,I have to also buy the books required for each class.It has been affecting me and my family because we knew we could rely on some of that left over money from the school to buy necessary things and it was helpful for me,a college student that normally does not have the best wages.
