I'm Yash, 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 civil engineering.
I have a top-of-class 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 September. 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.

Good luck, Yash. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I'll check back for the next update. Take care
Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
Praying for you, Yash. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Ekurhuleni but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
rooting for you, Yash. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Thane this morning. Love from Thane.
rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 8 people at work!
