I'm Aniket, 19, 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 psychology. I have a distinction average, I volunteer at my mosque 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 December. 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

    Take care, Aniket. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Campinas.

    • Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Amritsar

      • Thinking of you, Aniket. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Put this on a community board in Antalya this morning.

        • You're not alone, Aniket. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.

          • Sending strength, Aniket. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up. Blessings

            • Wishing you peace, Aniket. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out

              • Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
