I'm Jepkoech, 17, in my final year of high school. 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 3.7 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you, Jepkoech. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Thika.

Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Thika
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 6 people at work. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Jepkoech. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Riverside.
