Uberlândia
I'm Joaquim, 17, in Year 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 economics. I have a 3.7 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 October. 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. Thank you so much.

            sending strength, Joaquim. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Bursa so I could bring a meal.

              Hope it all works out, Joaquim. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
