I'm Despina, 16, 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 architecture.
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 December. 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.
Thank you so much.

Keep going, Despina. Hope this works out for you. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
good luck, Despina. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Barcelona.
as a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
