I'm Todd, 18, in Year 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 civil engineering.
I have a top-of-class 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.

Rooting for you, Todd. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Hang in there. Shared this with my family. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Jacksonville
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Coventry
So sorry you're going through this, Todd. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Good luck, Todd. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
