I'm Héctor, 19, 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 journalism.
I have a 3.9 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
- effort
- 1 hour a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- university experience, essay feedback

take care. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Bucaramanga.
Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update
Keep going, Héctor. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Wishing you peace, Héctor. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
