Thika
I'm Winnie, 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 economics. 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 May. 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.

  • Wishing you peace, Winnie. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Paarl.

    • Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
