I'm Ramon, 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 journalism.
I have a 3.7 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 October. 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there, Ramon. Shared it with a few friends. God bless
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
you're not alone, Ramon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Wish I lived closer to Embakasi so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Taguig.
good luck. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I'll check back for the next update. God bless
You're not alone. Hope you get there. Sent it to 9 people at work. Love from Lagos
Hang in there, Ramon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
