Shireen is applying to university - who can guide us?
Looking for a graduate who can spend an hour a week reviewing Shireen's essays until October.

I'm Shireen, 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 public health.
I have a 3.9 average, I volunteer at the local library 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.
Glad we found this place.

Sending love, Shireen. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Durban this morning. Greetings from Durban.
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Austin.
Stay strong, Shireen. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 4 people at work
