Abuja
I'm Isaac, 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 civil engineering. I have a top-of-class 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 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. Glad we found this place.

        Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!

          Hang in there, Isaac. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking

            Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Pune this morning.
