I'm José, 19, 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 civil engineering.
I have a distinction 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 August. 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.

Good luck, José. Study hard! This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Cebu City.
rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Seville
Thanks for sharing this, José. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
Sending strength, José. 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. Thinking of Seville
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Thessaloniki so I could bring a meal.
Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Seville.
You're not alone, José. Study hard! All the best.
Wishing you peace, José. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. We're a small family in Epe but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Seville
hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
