I'm Siyabonga, 19, 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 psychology.
I have a 3.9 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 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

- 1 hour a week

Best of luck, Siyabonga. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
thinking of you and your family, Siyabonga. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Paarl.
thinking of you and your family. Study hard! Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Hang in there, Siyabonga. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Wishing you peace, Siyabonga. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal. All the best.
