I'm Dustin, 18, 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 biomedical science.
I have a 3.7 average, I volunteer at my church youth group 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you, Dustin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Kanpur
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Heraklion.

Rooting for you, Dustin. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
