I'm Emily, 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 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 November. 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.
Glad we found this place.
- effort
- 1 hour a week
- format

Good luck, Emily. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Saint-Denis.
Hope it all works out. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Hang in there, Emily. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn.
Study hard! Greetings from New Delhi
Hang in there, Emily. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
Thinking of you. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Manchester
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. After 19 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
sending good thoughts, Emily. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
Wishing you peace, Emily. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Sending strength, Emily. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. After 20 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Pune.
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Casablanca.
