Buenos Aires
I'm Silvia, 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 computer science. I have a top-of-class average, I volunteer at my mosque 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Hope it all works out, Silvia. Hope this works out for you. After 23 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best

    • Spyridon Theodoros Antoniou

      wishing you the best, Silvia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Dammam this morning. Take care
