I'm Abril, 16, in Grade 12. My parents work long hours and didn't go to university, so there's no one at home who can help me understand applications, deadlines or financial aid. I'd like to study computer science.
I have a top-of-class average, I volunteer at the local library and I have a draft of my personal statement. What I need is someone to read my essays, tell me honestly what's weak, and explain how scholarships work.
I'm looking for an hour a week until November. We can do it by video from anywhere. My mother will be at home during every call, and the school counselor knows about this request.
Thanks for reading. It took me a long time to ask.

Sending strength, Abril. Shared this with my family.
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
praying for you, Abril. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
