I'm Refilwe, 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 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 September. 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.

thinking of you, Refilwe. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Kharkiv
Wishing you peace, Refilwe. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
You're not alone, Refilwe. Study hard!
