I'm Jyoti, 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 journalism.
I have a top-of-class average, I volunteer at a food pantry 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 May. 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

- 1 hour a week

So sorry you're going through this, Jyoti. Study hard! I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Southampton.
Thinking of you, Jyoti. Shared this with my family. Take care.
You're not alone, Jyoti. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I'll check back for the next update
So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
