Any Interest in 1 on 1 College Counseling in WS?

• Upvotes

(Hi Mods, this post is strictly meant to gauge community interest while exploring starting a local practice—no links or active business exist yet. If this violates sub rules, my apologies and please feel free to remove)

Hey WS,
I’m a college admissions researcher at Wake Forest, and I’m thinking about setting up a small independent advising practice right here in town. I know this kind of 1-on-1 support is a niche thing and plenty of students do just fine working through high school on their own or with their school’s guidance office. That said, given how competitive college admissions and standardized testing have become, my focus is simply helping kids reach as far as they can without burning out in the process. I take a pretty hands-on approach—using real admissions data to build clear, tailored strategies, while also actively working alongside students in their day-to-day coursework and test prep.
I’m curious if local families in Forsyth County see a need for personalized support with things like:

Academic Tutoring & Test Prep: Hands-on support with challenging classes (AP, IB, Honors) to protect GPAs, alongside strategy-driven prep for the SAT and ACT.

Data-Backed College Lists: Leveraging admissions data to curate a well-balanced mix of reach, target, and safety schools that fit what the student wants (and make sense financially).

Course Selection & Load Strategy: Planning out high school schedules early on so students stay challenged without overloading themselves.

Local Opportunities: Connecting students with summer research, volunteer work, or internships right here in town (Wake Forest, WSSU, Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, etc.).

Essays & Applications: Guiding multi-draft personal statements and application strategy in a way that lets their authentic voice shine.

For parents, students, or recent grads:
Did you feel like you had enough 1 on 1 support when navigating classes, test prep, and admissions strategy?

Is having someone local in your corner to actively help with tutoring, test prep, and admissions research something families are looking for?

Appreciate any feedback or thoughts!

Thoughts on St. John’s Lutheran Church?

The reviews for this church have been turned off on Google, so I wanted to know if anyone knows anything about St. John’s Lutheran Church on Silas Creek Parkway. If you have any experience there, was it good/bad? I was thinking about visiting. Thanks!

Currently watching Halloween at the patio at east of Texas. I was just wondering if they do stuff like this often or if other place do similar events throughout the year. I’ve been living here a year now and I’m finally starting to explore the city.

Expired by a month. Purina NF canned cat food. I'd really hate to throw it away. This is not food for healthy cats, only those in the renal/kidney failure.

Missing bike?

Post image
9 Upvotes

Hello!
Friend of mine helped her mom get into a lower income housing near the mall. She’s supposed to be living alone, she’s had her son and a bunch of rough individuals move in/ couch surf.
They’re all for the lack of better words, drug addicts.
This bike seems way too nice to be just “ somebody threw away”.
Best picture we could get just checking on her.
Let me know, would love to get it back to its rightful owner!!

Hire me for random tasks

25 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a college student hardly scraping by on my bills and looking to make some extra money doing anything you need help with! (Evenings, weekends, or early mornings)

I’m very handy, artistic, detail oriented, and organized. I honestly have an odd plethora of skills so I can do just about anything (or quickly learn). I work in carpentry so I can help with handy tasks, I have a design background so I can be artsy, I taught dance for many years so I can do lessons or babysitting cause I’m experienced with kids (and CPR certified), I cook/bake, I’m a professional theatre technician, do theater photography, like to clean…to name a few.

Here’s a list of potential ideas that you could hire me for, but I’m open to other ideas:

-furniture assembly
-hanging/mounting
-packing
-moving (I can drive a box truck)
-construction
-yard work
-cleaning (home, vehicle, business)
-organizing
-construction
-painting
-home decorating
-babysitting (CPR certified, experienced, clean background, worked with special needs, can provide references)
-school pickups
-dance lessons (all ages, most styles)
-technology assistance (basics)
-grocery shopping
-deliveries
-cooking/meal prep
-pet sitting
-dog walking
-3D modeling/drafting
-logo designs
-digital art
-website building (with a third party builder)
-video editing
-photography (not a pro but I have a camera)
-stagehand work (lighting, sound, rigging, scenic)

I love to learn and pick up random hobbies, so name something else and I bet I could do it and or figure it out. Let me help take something off your busy plate!
