I'm Scarlett, 19, in Grade 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 biomedical science.
I have a top-of-class average, I volunteer at the local library 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 July. 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 hope life is good to you.

good luck, Scarlett. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors
Keep going, Scarlett. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Kawasaki so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Bakersfield
Sending strength, Scarlett. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Bakersfield.
education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I hope July is when things finally get easier. All the best.
You're not alone, Scarlett. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Lahore but we're thinking of you
