I'm Fen, 19, 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 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 May. 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.

          I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Riverside but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Ottawa.

            Good luck, Fen. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
