I'm Dante, 17, in Form 6. 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 distinction 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.
Glad we found this place.

as a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. It's not much but it's yours
Looking forward to the next update. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Mendoza.
Wishing you peace, Dante. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Nashik but we're thinking of you. Love from Nashik.
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Mumbai.
Thinking of you and your family, Dante. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
