I'm Lydia, 16, 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 biomedical science.
I have a distinction 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 January. 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.

Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 8 people at work. Take care.
Stay strong, Lydia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Medellín
shared this with my family. My neighbor in Naples donated after I showed her your page.
Thanks for sharing this. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
thinking of you. Shared this with my family. After 27 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything
