I'm Yolanda, 17, 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 public health.
I have a 3.9 average, I volunteer at my church youth group 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 February. 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.

Sending good thoughts, Yolanda. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Leicester
so sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Columbus.
