I'm Jan, 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 journalism.
I have a 3.9 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 June. 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.
Thank you so much.

Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
Sending strength, Jan. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours.
Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Haarlem.
