Addis Ababa
I'm Helen, 19, 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 biomedical science. 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 October. 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 hope life is good to you.

      Sending love, Helen. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Addis Ababa!

        You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. After 22 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
