I'm Unathi, 18, in Grade 12. 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 distinction average, I volunteer at an after-school program 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 September. 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.

So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Cairo.
best of luck, Unathi. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you the best, Unathi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
