Jide is applying to university - who can guide us?
Looking for a graduate who can spend an hour a week reviewing Jide's essays until November.

I'm Jide, 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 civil engineering.
I have a top-of-class average, I volunteer at a food pantry 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 November. 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.

Sending good thoughts, Jide. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn

Praying for you, Jide. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. After 7 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Bonny.
Hope it all works out, Jide. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best
thanks for sharing this, Jide. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Bonny.
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Pasig

Hang in there, Jide. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Coventry.
