I'm Seo-yeon, 17, 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 public health.
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 November. 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.

Keep going, Seo-yeon. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings!
Thinking of you, Seo-yeon. Shared this with my family. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Sending strength, Seo-yeon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
