Manila
I'm Remedios, 16, 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 public health. I have a 3.9 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 December. 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. Thank you for reading my story.

                This could happen to any of us. After 12 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything

                • Thinking of you, Remedios. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together

                  • Best of luck, Remedios. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Quezon City.

                    • Best of luck, Remedios. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. All the best

                      • good luck with the exams, you've got this. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you

                        • Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings

                          • Study hard! Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

                            • good luck, Remedios. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

                                • sending strength, Remedios. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Put this on a community board in Móstoles this morning

                                    Hang in there, Remedios. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Nnewi donated after I showed her your page. Blessings

                                    • Stay strong, Remedios. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
