I'm Álvaro, 18, in my final year of high school. 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 journalism.
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 April. 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 1 hour a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- university experience, essay feedback

Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Sent it to 5 people at work. Love from Varanasi
thinking of you and your family, Álvaro. Study hard! After 11 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Warsaw.
So sorry you're going through this, Álvaro. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Thane but we're thinking of you. All the best!
Hope things get better soon, Álvaro. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn.
Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Winston-Salem.
Best of luck, Álvaro. Hope you get there.
Thinking of you and your family, Álvaro. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted. Take care
Best of luck, Álvaro. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Negombo.
Take care, Álvaro. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Christchurch
hang in there. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
