I'm Rajiv, 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 journalism.
I have a top-of-class 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in San Diego this morning. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Rajiv. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Rajiv. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors.

Praying for you, Rajiv. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Puebla.
Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. After 7 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Rooting for you, Rajiv. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Faisalabad donated after I showed her your page.
