I'm Álvaro, 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 economics.
I have a top-of-class average, I volunteer at my mosque 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 March. 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 so much.

Praying for you, Álvaro. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. We're a small family in Kampala but we're thinking of you. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 23 people at work. God bless.
