Bronx
I'm Ryan, 18, 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 distinction 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 January. 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Bristol.

        Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
