I'm Upendo, 17, 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 public health.
I have a 3.7 average, I volunteer at my church youth group 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.

Rooting for you, Upendo. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Angeles donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Thinking of you, Upendo. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from El Paso.
Hang in there, Upendo. Study hard! Thinking of Dar es Salaam.

Keep going, Upendo. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Ibadan so I could bring a meal. God bless
study hard! Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Upendo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from London.
