I'm Karan, 19, 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 public health.
I have a 3.9 average, I volunteer at an after-school program 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 April. 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.

Take care, Karan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon. 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.

Good luck with the exams, you've got this. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Zagazig.
