I'm Irene, 18, 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 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 August. 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.

Hope it all works out, Irene. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings!
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Södertälje.
Wishing you peace. Study hard! I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you peace, Irene. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
