I'm Josefa, 16, 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 public health.
I have a distinction 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.

Good luck, Josefa. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Wish I lived closer to Pune so I could bring a meal.
Thinking of you. Hope you get there. After 30 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Bang Khen.

Rooting for you, Josefa. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Columbus!
