I'm Silas, 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 architecture.
I have a 3.9 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 May. 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

You're not alone, Silas. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Lapu-Lapu.
Hope things get better soon, Silas. Shared it with a few friends. All the best

Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Paris.
