I'm Rosa, 17, 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 public health. 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 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.

              • Hang in there, Rosa. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Mexicali

                • Hang in there. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. After 28 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

                            • Rooting for you, Rosa. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
