I'm Ajay, 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 architecture.
I have a 3.9 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 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.
Glad we found this place.

Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. After 23 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
hope you get there. Put this on a community board in San Francisco this morning.
So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. After 14 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best
Sending good thoughts, Ajay. Good luck with the exams, you've got this.
Praying for you, Ajay. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Cape Coast but we're thinking of you!
study hard! Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
