East London
I'm Mthunzi, 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 civil engineering. 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

      so sorry you're going through this, Mthunzi. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Los Angeles!

        Hope this works out for you. After 18 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
