I'm Jomar, 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 computer science. I have a 3.7 average, I volunteer at an after-school program 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 November. 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    Keep going, Jomar. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

          hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

                  As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
