I voted for this student not only because he is remarkable, but the guy in the video with the orange shirt in the background is awesome.
Volkan is a very motivated and creative individual who will not take “No” for an answer. He has a very charming and inviting personality and is genuine in his business dealings. His utmost goal is to be fair with those who are working with him, no matter what the project. He truly is an exceptional young man with amazing spirit.
Volkan comes from a family of over achievers and he has demonstrated just a bit of his capabilities. This young man will no doubt achieve great things no matter what he does but he should be given this opportunity to excel.
Volkan is a very motivated and courageous young student who already accomplished some entrepreneurship goals for his age. He comes from a very successful family and has peers he looks up to. He will be an excellent candidate for USF’s Entrepreneurship Program.
