I'm Themba, 18, 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 biomedical science.
I have a distinction 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 February. 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 for reading my story.

thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Bloemfontein donated after I showed her your page. Love from Bloemfontein.
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
