Sheffield
I'm Bennett, 19, in my final year of high school. 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 April. 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

        Keep going, Bennett. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Sheffield.

          As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.

              Hope things get better soon. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. After 15 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
