I'm Mateo, 16, 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 journalism.
I have a distinction 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 February. 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.
- effort
- 1 hour a week
- format

Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Jakarta Selatan.
Stay strong, Mateo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 30 people at work. All the best.
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Mateo. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. We're a small family in Madrid but we're thinking of you.
Wishing you the best, Mateo. Looking forward to the next update.
