I'm Aaliyah, 19, 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 biomedical science.
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 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.
I hope life is good to you.

This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Gaziantep donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Hope things get better soon, Aaliyah. Shared it with a few friends. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Lahore this morning

So sorry you're going through this, Aaliyah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings
Stay strong, Aaliyah. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
Hang in there, Aaliyah. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Birmingham.
