My name is Ethan Endres, and I am from Charleston West Virginia. I am a Cyber Forensics and Security major at Marshall University. I plan on getting a Master’s Degree in my major at Marshall University. After this, I plan on trying to find a job that is either high pay or in West Virginia to start me off, but my dream job is working on network security with the National Security Agency (NSA).
Staying determined to be in a technology major was tough, because I had no computer science classes available to me throughout all my K-12 schooling. This also made it tough when I got into college, because I didn’t realize what the different technology majors entailed or even what kind of things in technology I would like to study. I started off my college career as a Computer Science major, then after a year I figured out that wasn’t what I was interested in, and I decided to try and switch my major to something that was more hands-on, which is what led me to my current major.
The GlobalMindED First Gen and Ambassador programs have given me access to financial aid which will help me in the future, because I am wanting to apply for graduate school, but I do not have the money to afford it yet. On top of this the Ambassador program has give me access to all of the tools to success that I need to build my leadership and professional skills.
I think that my teamwork and determination would make me a great candidate for a job. I have both from being the captain of the cross-country team at my high school. I think my determination would be helpful, and is irreplaceable. Once I start up on something, I don’t quit on it, and will always try to find a way to succeed. I think after being hired I will try to set a new standard for striving for success around the workplace!

GlobalMindED and the SDG Impact Fund are delighted to announce GlobalMindED's Donor Advised Fund. 2020 is the 75th Anniversary of the United Nations and the 25th Anniversary of the Beijing Women's Declaration and Action Platform. Many from around the world are thinking of 2020 as the gateway to our most vital decade for delivering equity, the Sustainable Development Goals, and a world where all can thrive. Our key time for these outcomes is 2020-2030.
GlobalMindED DAF and the SDG Impact Fund are a powerful combined force for good as the 2019 year comes to a close and we reflect on the gratitude and the commitments we make to the causes we care most about. The DAF offers immense power and flexibility for giving prior to the year's end as you plant seeds of generous intention for 2020 and the decade ahead.
When you contribute to GlobalMindED, you support First Gen students. We have served more than 400 students by connecting them to role models, mentors, internships and jobs. Your generous support will allow us to take our work 10x and reach these talented students at scale who lack the resources and support we provide. Your support also helps teachers who can't afford the conference fees, faculty at colleges which are under resourced and students who persist at those universities despite food insecurity and/or housing insecurity.

THE FLYOVER NATION
Energy's Role in a Troubled Heartland
By J.C. Whorton
A unique and timely discussion of the challenging issues facing the country’s troubled Heartland.
Since the beginning of westward expansion into the Heartland’s vast regions, natural resource development has played a historic role in shaping its communities. Today, domestic oil and gas development offers one of the strongest prospects for the Heartland’s present and future prosperity as well as the nation’s re-emergence as a dominant player in the global energy economy.
The U.S. is now the world’s largest producer of crude oil and natural gas, two circumstances that are universally disrupting international geopolitical order. The earth has a finite supply of natural resources and a rapidly growing and over consuming population.
As America positions itself for a very uncertain and constantly evolving global marketplace, will the Heartland become America’s “great connector” or “great divide”?
