It takes a community to build a community, but many of these statements were made to me because of what I built and because I directly advise and teach daily in EGD's career programs.

“[EGD] has opened up doors that I couldn’t have dreamt of... helping me socialize, giving me hope that I actually can accomplish what I want to do in life, and that I can be happy with who I am.”

"I'm super grateful for the career advice I've received from you during the course of this year. This is gonna sound cliché but back in September all I knew was I wanted to go into game art but had no idea how to go about it. I feel like I've learned, experienced, and been a part of so much this year that wouldn’t be possible without EGD."

"I applied to a scholarship and got rejected last time, but after I started working with EGD and a coach to revise my essay I made the cut! I've never seen that much money before... I met wonderful people that are pushing me in a positive direction, and I wouldn't have gotten this if I hadn't met them. If you join EGD you gain the confidence and skills to do it."

"You have done so much for me it's not even funny. You allowed me to gain more experience and forge friendships I never thought I would've while in college and after. I have made so many memories and connections I know will stay with me forever."

"It gives you the resources and the community to push yourself and to allow you to pursue something you may have only dreamed of. I never thought I'd be in a position to have to choose between internship offers, and I have to thank EGD (and you) in part for that!"

"I have been stressing about my future in games for years now and speaking with you felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. It didn’t feel like I was alone in this anymore and it made me want to work for it even more. You gave me more of the hope and confidence I needed to keep making games and I truly am thankful for that."
