Tampa
I'm Luna, 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 journalism. I have a top-of-class 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 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

      rooting for you, Luna. Your post was clear and honest. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Tampa

        Best of luck, Luna. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out

        • Ethan Léo Gaillard

          Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Fresno
