I'm Shawn, 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 journalism. I have a top-of-class average, I volunteer at my church youth group 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 February. 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 so much.

          Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Vitória da Conquista.

            Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Uppsala

                Best of luck, Shawn. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Jalandhar
