I'm Lucas, 17, 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 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 January. 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.
Glad we found this place.

Sending strength, Lucas. I hope things turn around soon
you're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Dharan!
Thinking of you and your family, Lucas. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Santos!
hope things get better soon, Lucas. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Birmingham donated after I showed her your page.
Wishing you the best. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
