I'm Viraj, 17, 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 computer science.
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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Bronx this morning.
Keep going, Viraj. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in London donated after I showed her your page. Love from London.
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. After 19 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Stay strong, Viraj. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 27 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from São Paulo.
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Awka
