I'm Shirley, 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 psychology.
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 October. 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good luck, Shirley. Study hard! Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Thinking of you and your family, Shirley. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. After 11 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
