    Really like the video Pratik. A suggestion I have would be to stop placing emphasis on us (target audience are teens/highschoolers/college students) and them (the "adults"). I think your message to keep reaching out to people with more wisdom is extremely valid but even though we are teenagers and students WE are also the ones making change. Most people here - I assume - are already scientists they just have conceptions that you need to work for x company or a scientist looks and acts y. But for you or anyone reading this I would remind you that if you're studying and you think and explore the topic in constructive ways/everyday life you already are.

    Bitcoin inspires me and what I stand for. I am with an NGO that is devoted to charity and helping out the destitute or disabled. Regardless of how bad it gets on the economy, I still make over 18,000 usd biweekly via group investing and we all give back at least 8k each to charity.

    • @clintscott3300

      I am with you. From giving out I decided on opening my own charity to feeding a city in need, giving scholarships worth, and distmfbc ributing cookies, we’ve made a tremendous impact. We’ve fed five cities in just 30 days, assisted hurricane survivors, provided meals for 10,000 families on Thanksgiving, and even contributed to cleaning the ocean!

She is on top of her game and the NGO I am registered with runs a dedicated portfolio under her guidance. Most of us now watch this channel.

    Another thing you can do is starting a for profit business, such as what I did, a vending machine business at my school and other places, which not only shows entrepreneurship but its another way you can make money without having to get a job. This can help if you have fees for Hosa, speech and debate, deca, or science fair, and it can be a good way to show numbers if you make a large profit (like I made 35k over the course of 3 years which I wrote on my common app).

    Hey Pratik, really helpful video!
    - So I recently started a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a really unique idea (unique af) and got it incorporated with the state.
    - I made it 3 weeks ago and we made a website, an app, and bunch of fliers/banners. We also made an insta a week ago and got 300 followers and held our first event, garnering 25 members (4 chiefs and rest chapter leaders / directors) and started branches locally and in different states. Even though we only had our first event so far, do you suggest emailing for sponsorships? Do you need actual projects done (we're planning on making a facility in a shipping container and educating about our cause at middle and elementary schools; also sending kits throughout the US)?

    • @drishtyvyas978
      @drishtyvyas978 Год назад +6

      Hey, I know you are not asking me, but I think you should definitely go for it. The main point of building a non-profit (besides trying to make yourself stand out) is to help others. Your situation might be similar if you plan to transfer from community college to a university as a transfer student. You can then include this. Finally, 18 is still close to 16 (only a 2 year difference) so u will still stand out. What I am trying to say is that no matter ur age, creating a non-profit is a good thing and will help you stand out.
      Note: This is just my opinion. I don’t have any statistical evidence supporting the idea that creating a non-profit would help someone in your position.
