I'm Vijay, 17, 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 biomedical science.
I have a 3.9 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 August. 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Study hard! We're a small family in Durgapur but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Durgapur.
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
wishing you peace, Vijay. Shared it with a few friends
I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Good luck. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best!
wishing you peace, Vijay. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
Stay strong, Vijay. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
