I'm Courtney, 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 biomedical science. I have a 3.7 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 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

          Hope it all works out, Courtney. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best

            so sorry you're going through this, Courtney. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Wellington.

                Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Wellington.

                  Hope it all works out, Courtney. Shared this with my family. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
