I'm Diego, 18, in my final year of high school. 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 3.7 average, I volunteer at the local library 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 March. 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
- effort
- 1 hour a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- university experience, essay feedback

Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. Love from Worcester
Hope things get better soon. Study hard! We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Thinking of you and your family, Diego. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Bergamo.
Wishing you peace, Diego. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Zapopan.
Praying for you, Diego. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Nashik.
Sending strength, Diego. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Monterrey but we're thinking of you.
Wishing you peace, Diego. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Thinking of Zapopan.
Thinking of you and your family, Diego. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Stay strong, Diego. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
