I'm David, 19, 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 civil engineering.
I have a 3.9 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 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Coventry so I could bring a meal.
Sending strength, David. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Barcelona this morning.
Good luck. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Shubra donated after I showed her your page
