🇺🇸 United States405 views
I'm Cheng, 18, in Year 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 distinction average, I volunteer at a food pantry 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 September. 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 1 hour a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- university experience, essay feedback

rooting for you, Cheng. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Take care, Cheng. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Wish I lived closer to Sherbrooke so I could bring a meal.
Sending strength. Study hard! All the best.
Wishing you the best, Cheng. Study hard! The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Niterói.
rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Lagos.
