I'm Orlando, 18, 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 computer science.
I have a top-of-class 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 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.
Thank you so much.

You're not alone, Orlando. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Kinondoni.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Manila!
