My roommate this summer! Congrats on finishing strong!

"One of the biggest things I grew in was leadership and the ability to take full-ownership of my situation. I am really proud of the consistent attitude and effort I gave all summer."

Michael Brown, Marketing Major, Texas A&M University.

Michael just completed his second summer with the Southwestern Advantage program. Taking full ownership of his situation was difficult his first summer and this time he felt like he came back and mastered it.

Many of our student interns return year after year to continue to develop crucial soft-skills such as taking ownership and learning to avoid playing the blame game.

Way to go Michael for your example and commitment to improvement!

Hey everyone! 👋🏾 Just a quick life update from back home in Texas—things are busy but going great! I wanted to say a huge thank you for supporting my small business. ☺️ I personally purchase these books on credit to make them available to families like yours, and your purchases help me stay focused on my studies. 📚 Nobody here can believe what I did in Georgia for the summer! We’re already in the full swing of things, and I’m having to order my first textbooks as well😂. I truly appreciate your support, and it means a lot to me!

Thanks again, and feel free to reach out if you ever need anything!
