I'm Aria, 18, in Grade 12. 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 architecture.
I have a top-of-class 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 December. 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
- effort
- 1 hour a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- university experience, essay feedback

Hang in there, Aria. Study hard! Put this on a community board in Monterrey this morning
keep going, Aria. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. After 22 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care.
Rooting for you, Aria. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Love from Thủ Đức
rooting for you. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Sending love, Aria. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hang in there, Aria. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Birmingham.
Good luck, Aria. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Kathmandu this morning.
Sending strength, Aria. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Pune
Hang in there, Aria. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
stay strong, Aria. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Heliopolis so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Birmingham.
Take care, Aria. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. 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. God bless!
Hope things get better soon. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Blessings.
