<p>My dad can barely read. My brother's younger than me, and can't write particularly well. I can't even go to my teachers -- they're skill is questionable (few are actually certified). I'd ask a CC member, but I'm not sure I want to give a complete stranger my work. What do I do?</p>
<p>...the only person that could help me doesn't seem to want to.</p>
<p>PM your essay to me.</p>
<p>I will review it; PM me.</p>
<p>I shall too PM me</p>
<p>I'd like to help, so if you want someone else to critique your essay, I will too -- PM me.</p>
<p>Do you mean "their" skill is questionable, rather than "they're"? I'd say go ahead and try a teacher. Even though you consider their skill questionable it is likely far superior to a high schoolers'.</p>
<p>My son's high school is low performing with few kids going to a 4 year college. So there was not much help there. Our local library system has a department to help kids with the college application process. Maybe something similar exists in your area.</p>
