I'm Corrie, 18, 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 3.7 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 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    take care, Corrie. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Don't give up.

    • Doris Figueroa

      good luck. Study hard! The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

          Hope it all works out, Corrie. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Dnipro.

            Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Eindhoven.
