I'm Aiden, 17, 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 public health. 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 July. 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.

      Weekends are easiest but I'm flexible, just say which days you can do. Fair thing to want to know.

  • Hang in there, Aiden. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
