I'm María, 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 3.7 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Alcalá de Henares but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Best of luck, María. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. I hope September is when things finally get easier. God bless
Sending love. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Praying for you, María. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of San Jose
