For Georgia Tech, my amazing cousin and also my forever best friend Sally was able to introduce me to three of her good friends, Jason, Ethan, and Jonathon! I love hearing from three different students because you get to have more perspectives, making the information more reliable and credible! Thank you so much Jason, Ethan, and Jonathon for helping me and thank you Sally for coming up with some of the questions, you're the best!
