I'm Kajal, 17, 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 public health.
I have a 3.9 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 January. 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.

Sending love, Kajal. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Mecca this morning. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Accra.
Praying for you, Kajal. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
Good luck, Kajal. Shared this with my family. After 20 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Hope things get better soon, Kajal. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 21 people at work. Greetings from Coyoacán
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Sent it to 25 people at work. Take care.
Rooting for you, Kajal. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.

Sending strength, Kajal. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Saket
Hope it all works out, Kajal. Your post was clear and honest.
So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Wishing you peace. 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. God bless.
