I'm Veronika, 16, in my final year of high school. 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 psychology.
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 November. 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.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Ekurhuleni this morning. Thinking of Moscow.
Hope it all works out, Veronika. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 18 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Moscow
Sending strength, Veronika. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Moscow.
praying for you, Veronika. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
You're not alone, Veronika. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Please keep us posted. Take care
Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Buenos Aires.
Sending love, Veronika. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best
Sending love, Veronika. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 22 people at work!
