I'm Naveen, 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 economics.
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 March. 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.

- 1 hour a week

Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Chicago.
Praying for you. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings!

Good luck, Naveen. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
