I'm Dewi, 16, 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 computer science. I have a 3.9 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 December. 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

  • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope December is when things finally get easier. God bless

    • Keep going. Shared this with my family. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

      • Sending love, Dewi. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My husband and I read this together. Love from Tel Aviv

          sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.

          • So sorry you're going through this, Dewi. Shared it with a few friends.
