I'm Sawsan, 17, 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 civil engineering.
I have a top-of-class 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 November. 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 hope life is good to you.

good luck, Sawsan. Hope you get there.
You're not alone, Sawsan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best!
Looking forward to the next update. After 30 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Thessaloniki.
Keep going, Sawsan. Shared this with my family. Love from Pokhara.
Take care, Sawsan. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update.
Hope it all works out, Sawsan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 10 people at work. Love from Quezon City.
sending strength, Sawsan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
thinking of you, Sawsan. Study hard!
Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
Sending strength. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Heliopolis.
Stay strong, Sawsan. Hope this works out for you.
praying for you, Sawsan. Hope this works out for you.
so sorry you're going through this, Sawsan. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out
Thinking of you and your family, Sawsan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Paris this morning.
