Guillermo Reyes, a doctoral candidate in education from Nicaragua, browses for food Monday, Nov. 21, 2016, at the Saluki Food Pantry in the Student Center. “I have three children,” Reyes said. “So this is helpful as an international student.” Reyes said it’s hard to make ends meet with an assistantship position. “I have to think very wisely how to spend my money,” Reyes said. He said it’s important to have money saved for an emergency. “My son is 8 years old, and he had two MRIs, the first of which he didn’t have any medical insurance,” he said. “I am still paying the bills. It’s hard.” (Autumn Suyko | @AutumnSuyko_DE)
