I'm Marcelo, 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 economics.
I have a 3.7 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 July. 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
- effort
- 1 hour a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- university experience, essay feedback

Good luck. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope July is when things finally get easier. God bless
