I'm Zola, 18, 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 architecture.
I have a 3.7 average, I volunteer at the local library 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Praying for you. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. After 27 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Greetings from Kanpur
