I'm Akello, 19, in my final year of high school. 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 3.7 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 April. 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.

thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
You're not alone, Akello. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours
Good luck. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
