I'm Chitra, 17, in Year 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 economics. I have a top-of-class average, I volunteer at an after-school program 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

      Sending strength, Chitra. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Swansea so I could bring a meal. Love from Kathmandu.

        Thinking of you and your family, Chitra. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings!

          Good luck, Chitra. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too

            Study hard! We're a small family in San Francisco but we're thinking of you. All the best
