I'm Craig, 17, 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 biomedical science.
I have a 3.7 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 December. 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Rooting for you, Craig. Hope this works out for you.
Rooting for you, Craig. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Thinking of you, Craig. Looking forward to the next update!
Take care, Craig. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Put this on a community board in Belfast this morning. Take care.
Sending love, Craig. Study hard! My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
