What We Cover:  Being a first-generation college student and why he decided to major in English Donald’s love for using storytelling to inspire change Why Donald decided to go to Dartmouth, and what was his experience there like? Donald’s advice for navigating collegiate life and finding your space    “There are so many people who don't get to have this very special privilege that I have. And there's so much sacrifice that has gone in to get me here, whether it's my teachers in school, my grandparents who fled the Jim Crow South. The donors who gave money after school, American taxpayers for the Pell Grants, or Stafford loans, and financial aid, there were a lot of sacrifices made. And I felt it my responsibility to make the most of it. And that meant to explore what, meet new people, try new things, do my best in my classes, and ask for help when I need it.” - Donald Jolly   Connect with Donald:  Website: https://www.d-jolly.net/     Thanks for listening, and if you like what you’ve heard, subscribe and listen to The Bold Student Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
