I'm Atim, 16, in Form 6. 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 distinction 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 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
- effort
- 1 hour a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- university experience, essay feedback

Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Albany
Good luck, Atim. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Atim. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Best of luck, Atim. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Bandung!
