I'm Sandra, 17, in Grade 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 civil engineering.
I have a distinction average, I volunteer at my church youth group 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 June. 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.

Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. After 20 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Sending strength. Study hard! We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Bristol.
You're not alone, Sandra. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Manchester so I could bring a meal.
