I'm Sadia, 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 3.7 average, I volunteer at my church youth group 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 April. 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 1 hour a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- university experience, essay feedback

Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings!
Hope it all works out, Sadia. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn.
Best of luck, Sadia. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
Hope it all works out, Sadia. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
Thanks for sharing this. Study hard! Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Barcelona.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Pasig.
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Eindhoven.
Take care. Study hard! After 10 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Quetta.
Sending strength, Sadia. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Nashik this morning. All the best.
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Stay strong, Sadia. Study hard! Love from Kumasi
Hang in there, Sadia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Pokhara but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Quetta.
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
