I'm Yakubu, 17, 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 architecture.
I have a 3.9 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

thanks for sharing this, Yakubu. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Petrópolis this morning. Thinking of Ikeja!
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Birmingham.

Thinking of you, Yakubu. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
