I'm Gustavo, 18, 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 public health.
I have a top-of-class 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 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 hope life is good to you.

Stay strong, Gustavo. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Coyoacán.
So sorry you're going through this, Gustavo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Coyoacán
