I'm John, 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 architecture.
I have a top-of-class average, I volunteer at an after-school program 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.
Thank you so much.

sending good thoughts, John. This could happen to any of us. After 19 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
good luck, John. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
sending strength, John. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
Best of luck, John. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Dar es Salaam.
Rooting for you, John. Study hard! Greetings from Thika!
