I'm Volkan, 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 public health.
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.
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you and your family, Volkan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
So sorry you're going through this, Volkan. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
