For many students first coming to college, they have no idea how competitive it could be for college students to find a desirable internship / part-time job. Some high school students might have had the privilege to get a paid internship position, but it will only get harder when they become college students. In the second session, our conversation will include three main questions:
ļ»æ
- Why having an internship experience is important? What are some other options apart from applying for internships?
- How to plan for my career before attending college? What are some resources to look for?
- What are some useful strategies to improve my profile during job-seeking?

Hey everyone, welcome to this session!! Passion projects are important for one's college admission. These projects allow you to incorporate what you are passionate about. For example, women rights, global warming, and etc. They allow you to challenge yourself, which gives you growth as a person and more! Basically, a passion project can enhance a college application by showing an applicant's dedication, unique talents, personal growth, and alignment with their interests and values.
Hope to see you guys there!! š
