I'm Sita, 18, in Form 6. 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 economics.
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 March. 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.

Sending good thoughts, Sita. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Howrah.
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Campinas.
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Howrah.
