I'm Joyce, 17, 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 biomedical science. 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 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. I hope life is good to you.

    Went above and beyond

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

    Take care, Joyce. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Kanpur.
