I'm Nihal, 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 architecture.
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 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 hope life is good to you.

Study hard! Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Kakamega.
You're not alone, Nihal. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
you're not alone, Nihal. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Nihal. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
