I'm Katherine, 18, 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 psychology.
I have a top-of-class average, I volunteer at the local library 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.

You're not alone, Katherine. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Greetings from Londrina!
You're not alone, Katherine. Looking forward to the next update.
hope things get better soon, Katherine. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from New Orleans
