I'm Roman, 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 computer 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 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.

Hang in there, Roman. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Roman. I hope things turn around soon. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Birmingham.
sending love, Roman. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
sending good thoughts. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Blessings.
