I'm Hoàng, 19, 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 journalism. I have a 3.9 average, I volunteer at the local library 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  • praying for you, Hoàng. Shared this with my family. Blessings.

    • Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home

      • Hope things get better soon, Hoàng. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Sent it to 23 people at work

        • Wishing you peace, Hoàng. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.

          • Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Arlington but we're thinking of you. Blessings.

              This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Nottingham.

              • Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Dhaka donated after I showed her your page.

                • Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

                  • Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Thủ Đức.

                      thinking of you, Hoàng. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. All the best

                      • You're not alone, Hoàng. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Ogbomosho but we're thinking of you
