I'm Sophia, 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 computer science.
I have a top-of-class average, I volunteer at the local library 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you and your family, Sophia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Reading.
Best of luck. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from São Paulo
