Duisburg
I'm Rainer, 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 top-of-class 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 October. 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.

        keep going, Rainer. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Duisburg.

            It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 12 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

            • Irfan Teguh Hakim

              Hope it all works out. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Greetings from Bacoor.

                Stay strong. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Duisburg.
