Anyango is applying to university - who can guide us?

Looking for a graduate who can spend an hour a week reviewing Anyango's essays until December.

I'm Anyango, 18, in Year 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 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 December. 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

        good luck, Anyango. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best

            Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Ho
