I'm Willem, 19, in Form 6. 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 3.7 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 December. 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.

  • praying for you, Willem. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Johannesburg.

    • Sending good thoughts, Willem. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes!

      • you're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
