Olinda
I'm José, 18, 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 journalism. I have a top-of-class 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 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 for reading my story.

      Wishing you peace. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.

        This could happen to any of us. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too
