I'm Anyango, 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 top-of-class 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 August. 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

sending good thoughts, Anyango. Good luck with the exams, you've got this.
Rooting for you, Anyango. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
stay strong, Anyango. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
So sorry you're going through this, Anyango. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Nsukka.
shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Curitiba.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Mombasa. I'll ask around and let you know.
Sending strength, Anyango. Hope this works out for you!
sending strength. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Likoni.
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Mumbai
Study hard! Thinking of Likoni.
rooting for you, Anyango. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. After 7 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
