I'm Athumani, 17, 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 biomedical science. I have a top-of-class 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 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. Thank you for reading my story.

    Keep going. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Put this on a community board in San Jose this morning.

      Stay strong, Athumani. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in 6th of October City but we're thinking of you. Love from 6th of October City.

        Praying for you. Study hard! My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care

            Thanks for sharing this, Athumani. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best.

              Thinking of you, Athumani. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
