I'm Rima, 18, 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 3.9 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    rooting for you, Rima. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Gaya

      Sending strength, Rima. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 22 people at work. Thinking of Gaya!

      • Fabiana Barros

        Good luck. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Gaya!

          stay strong, Rima. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.

            hang in there, Rima. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Cardiff donated after I showed her your page.
