I'm Olumide, 17, 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 top-of-class average, I volunteer at my church youth group 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 June. 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Rooting for you, Olumide. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I hope June is when things finally get easier
Sending love. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Entebbe
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Wudil
good luck, Olumide. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Wudil.
