I'm Yuki, 16, 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 biomedical science.
I have a 3.9 average, I volunteer at my mosque 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
- effort
- 1 hour a week

Shared it with a few friends. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Kitakyushu.
Thinking of you, Yuki. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from London
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Kitakyushu
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Brescia donated after I showed her your page.
Rooting for you, Yuki. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Fresno.
Wishing you the best, Yuki. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Riyadh
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Kitakyushu!
Hope things get better soon, Yuki. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Greetings from Sakai.
Keep going, Yuki. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Take care, Yuki. This could happen to any of us. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Kitakyushu.
