I'm Anita, 16, 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 3.9 average, I volunteer at an after-school program 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.

    Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Ottawa.

      wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home

        It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Dar es Salaam donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Pune.
