I'm Atieno, 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 economics.
I have a distinction average, I volunteer at an after-school program 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 February. 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.
Thank you so much.

stay strong, Atieno. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Take care
thinking of you, Atieno. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Lviv.
You're not alone, Atieno. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
