I'm Vandana, 17, 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 public health.
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 April. 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
- effort
- 1 hour a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- university experience, essay feedback

reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 21 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Madurai.
So sorry you're going through this, Vandana. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Keep going, Vandana. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Don't give up. Take care.
Good luck. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My husband and I read this together.
