I'm Helena, 16, in Form 6. 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 3.9 average, I volunteer at my mosque 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 November. 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

- 1 hour a week

Good luck, Helena. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. All the best
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Gliwice.
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Helena. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Hope you get there. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Palmira.
