I'm Bilal, 16, 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 computer science.
I have a 3.9 average, I volunteer at my church youth group 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.
I hope life is good to you.

sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Sandton!
Hang in there, Bilal. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, Bilal. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.

Take care, Bilal. Hope this works out for you. After 27 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Kathmandu.
