As a BSBA \u2013 Financial Management student at Gordon College, I experienced a lot of challenges, especially when it came to our finances. There were times when I worried about how I would pay for my school requirements, transportation, projects, and other expenses. There were also moments when I felt tired and wondered if I would really be able to finish my studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Receiving the Tertiary Education Subsidy (TES) was a huge help to me and my family. The financial assistance may seem simple to others, but for me, it meant so much. It helped me with my school expenses and lessened some of the financial pressure I was carrying. Because of TES, I was able to continue my studies with a little less worry and focus more on completing my degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud835\udde7\ud835\uddf5\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddfc\ud835\ude02\ud835\uddf4\ud835\uddf5\ud835\uddfc\ud835\ude02\ud835\ude01 \ud835\uddfa\ud835\ude06 \ud835\uddf0\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddf9\ud835\uddf9\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddf4\ud835\uddf2 \ud835\ude06\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddff\ud835\ude00, \ud835\udddc \ud835\uddf3\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddf0\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddf1 \ud835\uddf1\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddf3\ud835\uddf3\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddfb\ud835\ude01 \ud835\ude00\ud835\ude01\ud835\uddff\ud835\ude02\ud835\uddf4\ud835\uddf4\ud835\uddf9\ud835\uddf2\ud835\ude00. \ud835\udde7\ud835\uddf5\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddf2 \ud835\ude04\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddf2 \ud835\ude01\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddfa\ud835\uddf2\ud835\ude00 \ud835\ude04\ud835\uddf5\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddfb \ud835\udddc \ud835\uddf3\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddf9\ud835\ude01 \ud835\uddf1\ud835\uddf6\ud835\ude00\ud835\uddf0\ud835\uddfc\ud835\ude02\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddf4\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddf1, \ud835\uddf2\ud835\ude00\ud835\uddfd\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddf0\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddf9\ud835\uddf9\ud835\ude06 \ud835\ude04\ud835\uddf5\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddfb \ud835\uddfa\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddfb\ud835\ude06 \ud835\uddf2\ud835\ude05\ud835\uddfd\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddfb\ud835\ude00\ud835\uddf2\ud835\ude00 \ud835\uddf0\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddfa\ud835\uddf2 \ud835\uddee\ud835\ude01 \ud835\ude01\ud835\uddf5\ud835\uddf2 \ud835\ude00\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddfa\ud835\uddf2 \ud835\ude01\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddfa\ud835\uddf2. \ud835\uddd5\ud835\ude02\ud835\ude01 \ud835\udddc \ud835\uddf8\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddfd\ud835\ude01 \ud835\uddff\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddfa\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddf1\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddf4 \ud835\uddfa\ud835\ude06\ud835\ude00\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddf9\ud835\uddf3 \ud835\ude04\ud835\uddf5\ud835\ude06 \ud835\udddc \ud835\ude00\ud835\ude01\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddff\ud835\ude01\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddf1. \ud835\udddc \ud835\ude04\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddfb\ud835\ude01\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddf1 \ud835\ude01\ud835\uddfc \ud835\uddf4\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddf1\ud835\ude02\ud835\uddee\ud835\ude01\ud835\uddf2, \ud835\uddfa\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddf8\ud835\uddf2 \ud835\uddfa\ud835\ude06 \ud835\uddf3\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddfa\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddf9\ud835\ude06 \ud835\uddfd\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddfc\ud835\ude02\ud835\uddf1, \ud835\uddee\ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddf1 \ud835\uddef\ud835\ude02\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddf9\ud835\uddf1 \ud835\uddee \ud835\uddef\ud835\uddf2\ud835\ude01\ud835\ude01\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddff \ud835\uddf3\ud835\ude02\ud835\ude01\ud835\ude02\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddf2 \ud835\uddf3\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddff \ud835\uddfa\ud835\ude06\ud835\ude00\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddf9\ud835\uddf3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TES became one of the reasons I was able to keep moving forward.
