I'm Doris, 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 civil engineering.
I have a distinction average, I volunteer at a food pantry 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 September. 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 1 hour a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- university experience, essay feedback

Rooting for you, Doris. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
hang in there, Doris. Hope you get there. Don't give up. All the best.
Stay strong, Doris. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Warren.
