I'm Lucy, 19, 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 civil engineering.
I have a top-of-class average, I volunteer at my church youth group 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 September. 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.

Good luck, Lucy. I hope things turn around soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Thanks for sharing this, Lucy. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Love from Feira de Santana!
