I'm Okechukwu, 16, in my final year of high school. 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 journalism.
I have a distinction average, I volunteer at a food pantry 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 June. 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending love, Okechukwu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Ibadan.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Corpus Christi.
Keep going, Okechukwu. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Take care
keep going, Okechukwu. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Ibadan.
