I'm Jide, 17, 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 public health.
I have a 3.9 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 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.
Thank you so much.

Sending strength. Shared this with my family. Love from Magelang.
Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Take care, Jide. Your post was clear and honest. All the best
