I'm Meseret, 19, 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 biomedical science.
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 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.

- Went above and beyond
I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.
- Outstanding person
This is what community support looks like. They didn't just offer generic advice; they provided personalized help tailored to my specific situation.
- Delivered on promises
The help I received was exactly what was described and more. This person follows through on their commitments and genuinely cares about making a positive impact.

thinking of you and your family, Meseret. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from San Antonio.
good luck, Meseret. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 7 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Kobe
Sending good thoughts. Study hard! My husband and I read this together.
Rooting for you, Meseret. Study hard! This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
stay strong, Meseret. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Take care, Meseret. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
