I'm Tahmina, 18, 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 distinction 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 October. 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
- effort
- 1 hour a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- university experience, essay feedback

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 11 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Stay strong, Tahmina. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
shared this with my family. Thinking of Narayanganj.
Sending strength, Tahmina. I hope things turn around soon.
