I'm Iman, 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 journalism. I have a distinction average, I volunteer at the local library 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. Thank you so much.

  • So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Awka.

    • Best of luck, Iman. Hope you get there.

        Take care, Iman. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.

        • Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Kisumu donated after I showed her your page. All the best.

          • thanks for sharing this. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

            • Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up.

              • take care, Iman. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
