I'm Fon, 16, 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 journalism.
I have a top-of-class average, I volunteer at an after-school program 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 July. 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.

Sending love, Fon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
rooting for you, Fon. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
thinking of you, Fon. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless!
Thinking of you, Fon. I hope things turn around soon
Hope things get better soon, Fon. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Nice but we're thinking of you.
Wishing you the best, Fon. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Ann Arbor.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Chiang Mai. I'll ask around and let you know
Thinking of you, Fon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
