A: i can never pay my student fees, i am alwlays on hold how can i pay these fees when I am struggling to support my children and wife? all i can do is take on two credit cards worth of debt which has forced my credit score v low and i needed a co-signer for the new apt!

A: I am so ashamed bc I cannot share this story with my family or friends back home, they have a very high idea of America, a better world where life is secure even if i said: they would not believe me, so i have to suffer this all by myself, like so many intl workers

Daria: ppl do not realize tthat starting over costs $$ on home, food, clothing (for new climates!), rely on any personal savings bc what we ear intl workers cannot even take student loans or cannot have side jobs like us colleagues, so we struggle to support ourselves

solidarity! these grad workers really showed tremendous courage in the face of incredibly bureaucratic & incredibly obvious evil: when Temple University cut off their healthcare to try to end the strike thank you for giving me a lil more spring in my step today strikes get the goods!
