I'm Samantha, 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 architecture.
I have a 3.7 average, I volunteer at the local library 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 March. 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 good thoughts, Samantha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
So sorry you're going through this, Samantha. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best!
Your post was clear and honest. Love from San Francisco.
Hang in there, Samantha. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
thinking of you, Samantha. Study hard! Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
