Knoxville
I'm Nicole, 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 top-of-class average, I volunteer at an after-school program 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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • So sorry you're going through this, Nicole. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together.

    • Best of luck. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. We're a small family in Bloemfontein but we're thinking of you.

      • You're not alone. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. All the best
