I'm Patrick, 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 computer science.
I have a distinction 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 July. 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

as a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Put this on a community board in Manila this morning. Take care.
Keep going, Patrick. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best.
this could happen to any of us. Thinking of Louisville
