I'm Dylan, 19, 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 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 June. 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 hope life is good to you.

I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

The difference this person made in my life cannot be overstated. They were patient, kind, and persistent in helping me find solutions. Truly exceptional.
- Made me feel heard
I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

take care, Dylan. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Dylan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier!
Praying for you. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Hope it all works out. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Nnewi.
stay strong, Dylan. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
