I'm Phượng, 19, 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 biomedical 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 August. 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you, Phượng. Hope this works out for you. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Phượng. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Rio de Janeiro but we're thinking of you.
Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Chennai but we're thinking of you!
So sorry you're going through this, Phượng. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Wishing you peace, Phượng. Shared this with my family.
