I'm Brooks, 17, 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 civil engineering.
I have a 3.7 average, I volunteer at my church youth group 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 September. 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 for reading my story.

You're not alone, Brooks. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. All the best.
Take care, Brooks. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Love from Cape Town.
best of luck. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Lagos but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
