I'm Astrid, 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 biomedical science.
I have a 3.7 average, I volunteer at a food pantry 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 June. 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.

So sorry you're going through this, Astrid. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Sent it to 13 people at work
Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Södertälje.
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Santa Fe.
Best of luck, Astrid. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Wish I lived closer to Rotterdam so I could bring a meal.
Wishing you the best. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

Take care, Astrid. Study hard!
Shared it with a few friends. After 17 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.

Thinking of you, Astrid. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
