Fellows

“My overall review of the Bayar Fellowship is positive. At first, I was worried that the program might not meet my expectations, but this week and the meetings proved me wrong. Because of this program, I’ve learned so much.”

“This program was incredibly beneficial because, as someone who has had very limited experience in the professional world, I was able to learn very specific necessities that I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to learn before but are applicable to any academic field. I’m so grateful to have gotten the opportunity to partake in this program, as the skills we were taught (cold calling, interview prep, resume building, planning, etc) are entirely invaluable and I’ve started using them already. Esat is a great mentor whom I can’t thank enough for the creation of this program, and I know I’ll be following his guidance the rest of my professional career. I’m greatly inspired to share this experience with my peers and motivate them to take advantage of this amazing opportunity as well.”

“Top-tier experience. Learning how to cold call was very impactful for me because that’s not necessarily common knowledge or something that’s taught in school.”

“I think the program is very good to give you a backing for business practices and building confidence to be able to put yourself into that world. At the same time it also ignites passions as you learn and become more comfortable with these different terms. I also believe it helps build connections which is very important in a business setting, I feel like I’ve known my other fellows for years instead of just a simple week and am inspired by the mentors given to us that push us to be more.”

“The Bayar Fellowship has taught me so much in just five days. As an immigrant, my family and I weren’t familiar with how things like resumes, cold calls, and professional outreach work in the U.S. I’m incredibly grateful to have learned these skills and to have heard from so many inspiring speakers who shared their stories and insights. I know the knowledge I’ve gained will stay with me through college and well beyond.”

“The Bayar fellowship is an extremely great program that helps others with networking skills that could potentially lead to jobs.”

“This was a great opportunity to learn more about networking, the interview process, and financial literacy. I got to reach out to so many like-minded people from around the world and had the chance to speak to professionals to help with my questions about achieving my career goals. I walked out with an experience that will guide me throughout my entire work life.”

“I give it a 10/10! It was really well planned out and informative fellowship especially when it comes to helping to know how to successfully but myself out there to the world.”

“This is a very fun program. I learned a lot of essential skills such as resume building and cold calling. I feel like this program helped me grow and will lead to my success in the future.”

What made it stand out was the genuine investment Esat and the entire team showed in our growth, not just as students but as future changemakers. The workshops were engaging and practical, covering topics like networking, resume-building, interviews, and college preparation. I especially appreciated the chance to connect with mentors in my field and gain advice that felt personal and relevant. I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity and the supportive community it created. The lessons I learned will stay with me for years, and I look forward to giving back by helping others the same way the Bayar Fellowship has helped me.”

“I think it was great. The information taken from this Fellowship was very useful, and I enjoyed myself learning from my peers and guests.”

“”Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a Fellow in the Bayar Fellowship. I gained both practical life skills and tools I can apply in professional settings. Before this experience, I hadn’t been taught much about how to succeed after high school, but being part of this program made me feel more confident about navigating life beyond graduation. It helped me understand how to create a plan tailored to my own goals, whether that meant going to college, starting a business, or simply figuring out my next steps. Everything taught in the Bayar Fellowship felt intentional and aligned with my best interests. I felt heard, supported, and ultimately more confident in myself. Now, I feel empowered to take on more and truly advocate for what I want.”

“I loved it. I didn’t know what to expect coming into the fellowship, but I’ve found it to be a very insightful experience. I have learned so much and am very thankful for the opportunity.”

“I think this fellowship was great and I truly learned a lot in this one week. I’m an incoming freshmen in college and I feel like I’m better prepared for it now.”

“I think that the Bayar Fellowship is an amazing opportunity to learn so many different skills including resume writing, career planning, and cold calling. The fellows, mentors, volunteers, and Esat are amazing resources that I continue to have a relationship with, and I think that it is always difficult to get started in business and finance, but this program helped me with everything I needed to know.”

“I loved attending the Bayar Fellowship! The program teachers realistic and crucial life lessons needed to succeed in the job market, from networking, cold calling, preparation for interviews and financial literacy. After attending, I feel a bit more grounded from reality and I have a better understanding on how to better achieve the dream job I have in mind.”

“I think the Bayar Fellowship gave very insightful information for the basics of business in general and is great for students who want a basic overview of important business skills and practices.”

“The Bayar Fellowship has been an unforgettable experience. I gained practical, career-shaping skills, from crafting a standout resume and cold messaging on LinkedIn to securing an internship and managing my personal finances. But beyond the skill-building, what left the deepest impact was the incredible community. I was inspired by the professionals who, despite their demanding careers, took the time to mentor students like me. This program showed me that there are so many people out there working to create real change and now I feel even more motivated to do the same. A huge thank you to Mr. Bayar for creating such a powerful and meaningful opportunity.”

“I would give the Bayar Fellowship a perfect grade because it respected all their central points while respecting the plans they made. They permitted a global connection to the professional world with their different panels and activities. The homeworks were relevant, and it enhanced my comprehension of the subjects.”

“Bayar Fellowship has been a wonderful experience. Everyone needs to know skills like cold calling, formatting resumes, and networking, and this program goes above and beyond at teaching young people just exactly that. From panels with successful yet authentic CEOs and figures to learning how to deliver my best self in interviews, I feel that I have walked away with knowledge that is severely useful but unbeknownst to many. I highly recommend that every student dedicates a few hours for just one week to attend this program, because it will truly level up your confidence and skills in every way possible.”

“The Bayar Fellowship, to me, was an amazing 5 day fellowship teaching us many things from cold calls, to resumes and interview etiquette, all of it was very useful and information that I will take with me. We had many powerful speakers who gave us insight on their careers and lives, which gave us even more hope, seeing as how many had different paths but they all made it to the point they wanted to be in. I believe it was a great fellowship and it was eye-opening and very helpful.”

“I underestimated the Bayar Fellowship when I was recommended it by my counselor, but it’s the one of the greatest programs I’ve ever had the pleasure of being a part of. Not for the prestige like others, no, for the valuable knowledge and Esat Bayer himself. One of the friendliest and down-to-earth mentors one could ever have.”

“The Bayar Fellowship stands out as a dynamic and purpose-driven initiative that blends business education with community impact. Designed for high school students—especially those from underrepresented backgrounds—it offers far more than just an online class. It’s a launchpad for leadership, financial literacy, and professional development.”

“The Bayar Fellowship has taught me many real-life skills that are necessary in order to thrive in modern-day society. From how to cold-call to finances, I have learned many things. This experience has helped my academic and professional career a lot. I have met many new people and have gotten to hear about their journey within their academic and professional career as well, which inspires me to do well in mine.

From mastering professional communication—like cold calling and writing effective emails—to learning how to write a good resume, the skills I’ve gained are ones I will surely use when starting my career. I’m especially thankful to Esat and the rest of the mentors for giving me the opportunity to learn things I didn’t even know I needed. Their dedication to our growth was clear in every session and interaction. I also had the chance to connect with an inspiring group of fellows, all working toward their own career goals.

I want to thank Esat for creating this unique opportunity out of the goodwill of his heart for his dedication of helping empower students like me. I also want to thank all of the volunteers and guest speakers for providing their wisdom in both the presentations and Q&A sessions. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Bayar Fellowship to any high school or college student who is seeking personal growth, valuable skills, and a supportive community.”

“Amazing. The speakers are informative, and the environment is truly inspiring to be a part of. I’d want to give back to the program in any way possible.”

“The Bayar Fellowship is a unique program for students that provides comprehensive support that can be used in their future schooling and career. The team of volunteers, mentors, and guest speakers makes the time you spend in the fellowship worth every second. From the well-crafted presentations on topics ranging from cold calling and finance to the relationships you create at the end of the program. You can tell that the mentors care through their presentations and availability to provide advice, after class hours. As a part of the Bayar Fellowship, fellows will join a supportive network of established professionals, motivated students, and helpful mentors. Overall, the Bayar Fellowship is a beneficial opportunity for students that can help them in their academic and professional pursuits.”

“Overall the program has been great. I was able to learn so much, I am grateful to be a part of it all.”

“My overall review of the Bayar Fellowship is that the program is very informative. I learned a lot of skills and was able to rethink my professional development. I found every guest speaker to have a story that can cater to every individual in the program. In this program we were able to focus on our career plans, interview process, networking, cold calling, resume, cover letters, knowing my story, and maximizing every conversation. Although, I have experience in these fields it is always nice to get a different perspective on professional protocols than individuals who have been my long term mentors. By being a part of the Bayar Fellowship I have grown as an individual and want to continue my growth. “

“It was a very good experience, I learned so much over the week. I’m glad the notes were also sent to my email, so that I can look back and write down things I may have missed and or want to see again. I was able to connect to a lot of people and learn necessary skills required to reach the next level. Truly a blessing to be a part of such a wonderful program.”

“I believe this Fellowship was helped me prepare for my future in college and career. Everyone should join this program.”

“I learned a lot this week during the fellowship I have learned so much about how I want to form my future and Mr Esat has been a blessing to us during this week with learning different topics that are important now and for our future. It was a blessing and a privilege to be part of this fellowship because I have learned a lot from cold emailing to making my resume better to start building my LinkedIn this fellowship has been so helpful and inspiring to me to continue my education and strengthen my networks and myself overview.”

“This has to be one of the most amazing experiences that I have had in my life. The Bayar Fellowship has shown me so much, and I am so grateful to have stumbled upon this opportunity. Initially, when starting my High School Journey, I was nervous about not being “literate” or ready enough for College. I’m happy to say that because of the knowledge Esat and all of Bayar Fellowship has given me, I am confident and ready for life in College and beyond. I recommend this to anyone, to absolutely invest their time in applying for this fellowship. It will be an advantage to you in all endeavors of your life – no doubt. I am so grateful that I came across it, God Bless You all for your hard work!”

Favorite part: “Learning how to make a LinkedIn with other people doing the same so we’re able to all share our profiles with one another and not have any excuses of not finding any networks as fellows.”

“It was a remarkably enriching experience, from the basics of professional contact and presentation to a solid teaching of financial literacy and how to build our finances in realiable and effective ways.

“Great! You’re able to learn more of the business world! Favorite part was connecting with other people in breakout rooms!”

“I really enjoyed my time at the Bayar Fellowship. The program was incredibly rewarding, and I learned a great deal. Early in the fellowship, Esat said, “You don’t know what you don’t know,” and I think that perfectly captures my experience. The program exposed me to so many new ideas I had never considered before. For example, I knew nothing about cold emailing or resume design at the start, but since learning about them, I’ve already begun putting both skills into practice. This fellowship has truly been one of the most motivating experiences of my life, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone with even the slightest interest in going to college.”

“I have enjoyed the lessons, and the speakers throughout the week. This has been such an inspirational and safe environment. As an incoming college freshman, It feels great knowing I can take in this week’s lessons and advice to keep in mind during college and future job interviews.”

“I think the Bayar Fellowship was a really insightful gateway into the professional field—whether it’s learning how to use LinkedIn or how to format a resume, it was really helpful for beginners that don’t quite have the confidence or are unsure of what and where to start. I’ve also made a lot of connections with my other Fellow peers, and connected with panelists brought in as well. The class environment was always supportive and everybody was engaged, and there was always a lot of new things or skills to learn everyday!”

“I think the fellowship was extremely helpful and allowed me to get a better understanding of the field I am interested in. Business is so much more than it seems on the surface, and getting to touch on the major terms and keys made the field seem a lot less intimidating. It is so inspiring to see people who are passionate about what they do give back to the community. I hope that as I gain experience, I can have a similar impact on aspiring business leaders as well.”

“It was amazing. The only thing I regret not doing is not joining earlier. I learned so much important information like cold-calling, resume-building, etc that would have been even more game-changing for me if I knew about it just one or two years earlier. On top of that, I really enjoyed how genuine the whole-program is since everyone here is dedicated to selflessly helping you advance towards your goals.”

“The Bayar Fellowship was an incredibly enriching and inspiring experience. The balance between skill-building workshops, networking opportunities, and professional development created a well-rounded program that helped me grow both personally and professionally. I truly appreciated the supportive environment and the chance to connect with like-minded peers and mentors.”

“The Bayar Fellowship allowed me to gain meaningful insight into the perspectives of professionals and engage with like-minded students from around the world. Through sessions on networking, resume building, and communication, I developed practical skills that will support my academic and career journey.”

“The Bayar Fellowship was so good! I learned so much and met some great people! It proved to be an insightful experience, while it was offering lessons in areas like building professional connections, excelling in interviews, managing investments, and strengthening job applications!!

“10/10 it was super helpful!”

“I really enjoyed the week long classes that the Bayar Fellowship had to offer! I think that the financial literacy and resume days were really helpful for skill building as many of us head into our own career paths.”

The fellowship has shone light to the shadows of my career planning. All lessons have given me other insights as to what I can do to better my self as an individual and as a professional.

It’s an excellent experience and I would definitely recommend it.

The Bayar Fellowship was an incredible experience for me to grow my professional skills and to learn to navigate the business world.

The Bayar Fellowship was a really valuable experience. Throughout the program, we had the chance to hear from mentors who gave us great insights. We worked on practical tasks like refining our resumes, and they took the time to review them with us. I also learned useful skills like making cold calls and handling real-world professional situations. It was a great way to build both my confidence and skillset. They weren’t just theoretical; they were hands-on and practical, which made a big difference. I felt like the program really pushed me to step out of my comfort zone and gave me skills I can use right away. Plus, the community was great, and it was awesome connecting with other people who were just as motivated to learn. Overall, it helped me grow a lot both personally and professionally.

I am very grateful to have the opportunity to be in this incredibly productive program! In just a week, I learned many valuable skills quintessential to helping me navigate my academic and college journey. I know that many of the skills I learned, such as cold calling, networking, and finance manage, will play an important role in shaping my professional career as well!

Each session felt purposeful and engaging, and the experience has made me feel more confident and prepared to pursue future opportunities.

I will forever be grateful for the opportunity that i had to be part of Bayar Fellowship and getting to learn valuable lessons and skils that i could use for my future.

The Bayar Fellowship has taught me a lot about ‘real life things’. For example, how to reach out to people and give cold calls, how to talk to people in a professional space, how to lay out a resume and what to put, etc. It didn’t feel like we weren’t close, there are so much things that we as members of the Bayar Fellowship, we can still be connected. Overall, I enjoyed my time in the Bayar Fellowship

My overall review of the Bayar Fellowship is a 5 out of 5.

9/10. The program was very insightful and taught me a lot! My only critic would be time management, but overall I really enjoyed this week.

it was pretty good.

Great experience I would love to share it with others.

I even learned how to start investing, which I never thought I’d do at this stage. This program has been eye-opening and incredibly empowering. I’m so grateful to be a part of it!”

“It has been very handful in preparing me for life during and after college. I wish I could’ve been more hands on especially in terms of resume review and cold call to Esat on LinkedIn but due to schedule after sessions and time needed to sleep to get ready for work the next day messed that up. Overall it has been very interactive and great in setting up network connections.”

Throughout this program, I have gained valuable insights in various fields, such as career orientation and development, professional networking, interview tips and strategies, resume building, scholarship research methods, and even financial literacy.

“In one word, it was an epiphany. As someone with previously poor knowledge on economics, finance, and business, I was able to earn a lot of valuable information in these fields. My enlightenment came from realizing that the world has so many opportunities, and there are so many people who took the same path before us. This realization was further expanded and applied through lessons and operations in networking. Every volunteer and every fellow was willing to help, making the fellowship very inclusive and welcoming. I am sure that this fellowship will allow me to reach my aspirations in rigorous careers.”

Favorite part: “All the connections I’ve made.”

It pushed me to reflect more, step outside my comfort zone, and grow as a student and a leader. I’m really grateful I had the chance to be part of it.”

I especially loved the idea that we were able to meet with former Bayar Fellows to see how they applied the lessons we were taught, and how they implemented it into their professional lives. The fellowship was nothing short of welcoming and exceeded my expectations. It has helped me learn very valuable skills that I otherwise wouldn’t have been able to learn on my own.

My favorite part of the fellowship was meeting likeminded students who all have a passion to succeed in their academic and professional careers.”

“The community was incredibly constructive, respectful, and ambitious. I connected with my peers outside of our sessions and got to learn about the projects they were working on. Esat’s approach of looking at your long-term goals and working backwards helped me understand exactly what I need to do to reach mine. It made everything feel more doable and eased the anxiety I had about falling behind.”

“One of my favorite aspects of the fellowship program was the friendly, welcoming environment fostered by the Bayar Fellowship team, as well as the opportunity to connect with like-minded peers from around the world who share a similar drive for growth and self-improvement.”

Esat is an outstanding mentor and teacher who was eager to address any queries we had. As a result, he gave us some excellent advice that will surely help me improve my networking abilities. This was an excellent experience all around, and I am looking forward to start applying what I’ve learned in the future!”

“The program helped me a lot with understanding how to build my resumes, and how to connect with others. I’ve always struggled trying to speak to others, and this program helped me a lot in making me break out of my shell.”

“This fellowship granted me numerous skills that I will be able to use throughout many different aspects of my life and I am very grateful to have had this opportunity.”

“It was a great learning experience I have learn a lot about communication skills and working on a resume for colleges and for job application. I also learn quite a bit on college as a first year to take advantage of thing’s available for you on campus.”

“What an amazing experience! The value of what I learned during this week is incommensurable. Thank you to Esat for his efforts and support; I am and I will always be proud of being a Bayar Fellow. From resume to personal values, so many important topics were covered, and I also had the opportunity to learn from great people (e.g. panellists, mentors..) and also from my peers. I strongly recommend this fellowship to any student who wants to make the most of his summer and be prepared for college.”

“The Bayar Fellowship changed my outlook on my future. As a child of immigrant parents, I lacked proper instruction on college admissions, important networking advice, resume creating, and more. However, with the help of Mr. Bayar and all the mentors, all the questions I had for my future have been answered and I have gotten so much valuable advice that will last me years. The biggest thank you goes to Esat, the mentors, and all those who aided us on this week-long process.”

“Such a wonderful experience! Very resourceful and helpful to my future! We got the opportunity to speak with real mentors who gave college and career advice!”

“Something I’ve never experienced before. Extremely honored that I was able to learn and observe from vastly experienced professionals in so many different areas. A huge shoutout to Mr. Bayar for bringing all of this together!”

“The program provides a wonderful opportunity to learn about pragmatic materials that you will be able to use outside of academic studies. The student community is overall very wholesome and kind to each other. It is a great experience.”

“10/10”

“This program was an incredible opportunity that introduced me to both professional and academic information that I was unaware of. With help from Esat, I was able to both learn this information and receive an incredible mentor to help support me through my future college and career years.”

“This fellowship was very informational and it was a great opportunity to learn about how to network, plan out steps for future careers, how to land important internships, and generally just brightening our futures. I am very grateful for the lifelong mentors I have gained from this program.”

“I am so grateful for the knowledge and inspiration that Esat and the rest of the panelists involved provided us through this fellowship! These skills learned and relationships developed will last a lifetime and greatly impact my professional future.”

“This was a wonderful opportunity, and I am thrilled to have been apart of it! I appreciate all of the industry-specific knowledge I received, and would certainly recommend this fellowship to business-minded students.”

“The Bayar Fellowship was deeply impactful in my understanding of how to best progress in the educational and professional fields. I am grateful for having this opportunity to connect with amazing mentors and other like-minded students.”

“I truly loved the Bayar Fellowship! I got the chance to really refine my resume, receive advice in preparation for college applications, and work 1-on-1 with a mentor in sociology (my dream major). As I prepare to continue sociology research, I believe the networking skills I acquired through the Bayar Fellowship will play an integral role in achieving internship and mentorship opportunities. I am truly so grateful for the chance to partake in the Bayar Fellowship, and I’m so proud to call myself a Bayar Fellow!”

“The Bayar Fellowship has given me so much insight about different aspects of business. From Cold Calling 101 to listening to different testimonies from Bayar Fellows alumni about networking, I learned so many new things that I will definitely continue to practice and hopefully share with some of my peers. I wish the program was longer than a week because not only were the sessions very productive to where we would be on the call for 2 hours, I met so many new people that I know I will continue to have connections with in the long run. Personally, I’d like to thank Esat because as the founder of this fellowship, he has done so much for the students from past cohorts and my cohort as well. I am blessed to have gotten this opportunity and I will carry the title as a Bayar Fellow with pride!”

“Awesome experience! Definitely helped me improve my resume for internships!”

“Awesome experience!”

“It is a good fellowship. I learned a lot about business that I haven’t even heard about before.”

“It was an informal event! My favorite part was Esat being patient and helpful about everyone’s’ questions.”

“Esat is an incredible teacher/mentor who introduced me to so many fundamental business skills and concepts that otherwise seemed foreign to me(including networking, investing, cover letters, etc.). He did an amazing job facilitating discussions and walking us step-by-step through every lesson. It was awesome connecting with other like-minded peers who share the same ambitions and learning from them as well. Overall, this was a great experience, and can’t wait to implement what I learned here in my own life.”

“The program provided an excellent opportunity to learn the hoops of navigating the professional world. We received a crash course in networking, how to land internships, and career strategizing for the upcoming years, not to mention the money from the scholarship.”

“This program gave me valuable insight into not only business principles, but also how to apply them to my own life; helping me thrive and flourish. Esat has not only given me invaluable resources and knowledge to pursue what I want to do, but also the ability and confidence to do so!”

“Esat is one of the most knowledgeable and helpful people I have ever met. Not only did he provide us with information to help us succeed in the future he also paired us with personalized mentors to help us achieve our goals.”

“I can’t begin to say how much I have learned in such a short amount of time. Throughout this week I already find myself using every piece of knowledge Esat has shared with me in my everyday life. The truth of the matter is networking and professionalism is one of the most important assets as a person aiming to be successful in anything. I can’t express how genuinely grateful I am for this opportunity, I will be utilizing and taking this knowledge with me for the rest of my life, education, and professional career. In this short week I have already applied what I have learned to many different networking scenarios and I am excited to see where my new networking and professional skills will take me in the future.”

“This program gave me the opportunity to expand my networking skills, and learn about crucial financial topics like investing. Most importantly, I learned how to prepare for my professional life. Esat was a great mentor who helped us through all the learning process. I would definitely recommend this program to other high school students who are eager to learn more about how to prepare for their future professional life.”

“The program was a once in a lifetime experience that puts the fellows in touch with mentors that can advise them in their future aspirations and career fields, connects like-minded high school students and gives them networking opportunities, and teaches subjects (such as investing, drafting a cover letter, and more) that are not available in school. The Bayar Fellowship is insightful and helps nurture students’ curiosity for furthering their knowledge.”

“First, I want to thank Esat because, in a span of a week, he provided so much knowledgeable information to me and the rest of the fellows. Not only that, but he paired us with mentors that can help us achieve our goals and gave us knowledgeable information on how to network. I feel much more confident not only in reaching out to people and networking, but I feel well-prepared to utilize the skills I learned to achieve my goals.”

“I am grateful to have been a part of the Bayar Fellowship program. It has been a great opportunity for me to interact with other students from different institutions. I feel that it has provided me with valuable information for my college and future career.”

“The in-depth look at how successful people manage their time, money, and even image was invaluable, but what will really stick with me was the chance to interact with incredible peers who I wouldn’t have known existed without the Fellowship. It was empowering to see that we as young people really do have power over our futures.”

“The Bayar Fellowship has been a wonderful program that taught me valuable skills in networking and career development. Esat does a great job of explaining the in’s and out’s of what it takes to be a successful professional and a productive college student in the future. I 100% recommended this program to anyone who is considering applying!”

“I absolutely loved this program! I learned so much and gained a lot of new knowledge. I strongly recommend to applying!”

“I really enjoyed it; I have learned a lot about investments and resume tips. I would recommend this fellowship to anyone who wants to learn more!”

“This program opened my eyes on how everything I am doing in high school should be repeated at a higher level in college. However, instead of doing it to get into college I would be doing it to get into a career field and hold my own in the real world. I certainly feel more prepared to be successful in college and afterwards now.”

“I really enjoyed being a part of the program especially because we were amongst the first people to be a part of it. I loved to be able to connect with people that are in my shoes and come together to discuss and learn material that allows us to become successful. I really appreciate being able to hear from someone first hand in their own experiences and learn and grow from them in order to be as successful as possible in the future.”

“I think this program is a very excellent program for students to be informed on how networking works. If I hadn’t found out about this program I’d be very lost on what to do.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed my experience being mentored under the Bayar Fellowship. I was exposed to ideas such as resume building, networking, and university preparation. These are concepts that, as a 9th grade student, I would not have access to anywhere else. My mentor and Esat were extremely kind and guided me in a way that allowed me to succeed!”

“It was really good. I feel that, with this knowledge, I will be able to land higher internships, know what to write on my resumes, and maybe even go to good colleges to land the jobs of my dreams. That, and the 200 dollars, is definitely going to benefit my student life.”
