I'm Ahmad, 16, in Year 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 computer science.
I have a distinction average, I volunteer at a food pantry 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 June. 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
- effort
- 1 hour a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- university experience, essay feedback

Hope it all works out. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn
Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Fort Worth this morning. All the best.
Take care, Ahmad. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
hope it all works out, Ahmad. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Ahmad. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Stuttgart.
Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Nottingham.
So sorry you're going through this, Ahmad. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Bogor.
Thanks for sharing this, Ahmad. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Moscow but we're thinking of you. Love from Moscow.
You're not alone, Ahmad. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Bogor.
Thinking of you and your family, Ahmad. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
