I'm Brenda, 17, in Grade 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 public health.
I have a top-of-class 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

shared this with my family. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Lagos.
You're not alone, Brenda. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care!
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Kyiv.
Wishing you the best, Brenda. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
