Asaba
I'm Emeka, 18, 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 journalism. I have a distinction average, I volunteer at the local library 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 May. 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.

    So sorry you're going through this, Emeka. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Tokyo donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Asaba.

      Stay strong, Emeka. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
