I'm Caleb, 17, 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 public health.
I have a top-of-class average, I volunteer at my church youth group 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 October. 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.
I hope life is good to you.

thanks for sharing this, Caleb. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. All the best

gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 19 people at work
Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
