I'm Hamisi, 16, in Form 6. 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 biomedical science. I have a 3.9 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 October. 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.

    Wishing you peace, Hamisi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 39 people at work. Thinking of Kakamega.
