I'm Felipe, 18, in Year 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 journalism.
I have a 3.9 average, I volunteer at my church youth group 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 September. 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 1 hour a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- university experience, essay feedback

Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Felipe. Good luck with the exams, you've got this!
so sorry you're going through this. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn.
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Take care, Felipe. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Thanks for sharing this, Felipe. I hope things turn around soon. I hope September is when things finally get easier
Thinking of you and your family, Felipe. Gave what I could, wish it was more
take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Duque de Caxias.
Take care, Felipe. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Cebu City.
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Awka so I could bring a meal
