Turin
I'm Carla, 16, 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 computer science. 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 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.

    Hang in there, Carla. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Kraków but we're thinking of you. Blessings

    • John T. Stevens

      hang in there. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.

      • Maksym Artem Novikov

        hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless

          as a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Wish I lived closer to Laredo so I could bring a meal.

            Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Pasig this morning. Thinking of Turin.
