I'm Fernando, 19, in Form 6. 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 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

- 1 hour a week

sending love. Hope you get there. After 21 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Sending strength, Fernando. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Mexicali.
Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Anaheim so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Rooting for you. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Marseille.
