I'm Jose, 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 3.7 average, I volunteer at my church youth group 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. Hope this works out for you. After 16 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Good luck. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Nottingham.
rooting for you. Shared this with my family. Love from Butwal
Praying for you, Jose. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
