I'm Sneha, 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 economics.
I have a top-of-class average, I volunteer at the local library 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 March. 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Praying for you, Sneha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.

Thinking of you and your family, Sneha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
