For the summer of my junior year, our AP Computer Science teacher hooked up a few of us with internships at the finance firms, specifically in tech (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, etc.). Now, sure, I did really well and studied really hard to get into my high school. However, I did practically nothing to earn that internship besides taking AP Computer Science. My Computer Science &amp;quot;expertise&amp;quot; was hardly valuable. I knew just about as much as any other AP CS kid in the country.&lt;p&gt;In the end, that internship did wonders for me getting into college and getting future jobs. And plus, I made 3k that summer. And yes, I finished a useful project at the firm. But the reason I had that opportunity was totally orthogonal to &lt;i&gt;earning&lt;/i&gt; the opportunity. I know we like to boast about being a meritocracy and all that, but this is one of those cases where it was correlation, not causation.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Howard University opens a new campus at the Googleplex</title><url>https://blog.google/topics/diversity/howard-university-opens-new-campus-googleplex/</url></story>

I grew up in a town that, before I was born, decided to actively integrate (from being an historically all white, wealthy suburb) and I&amp;#x27;m certain I&amp;#x27;m better off for growing up in a diverse community. I&amp;#x27;m in mountain view now and it&amp;#x27;s all &amp;quot;silicon valley white&amp;quot;, and something actively needs to be done. I worry when I realize my kid can go a week or more without seeing a black person, and I&amp;#x27;m disappointed in myself when I realize I have no black friends (when as a kid they were my neighbors).</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Howard University opens a new campus at the Googleplex</title><url>https://blog.google/topics/diversity/howard-university-opens-new-campus-googleplex/</url></story>
