Hi, I’m Amogh

Hey Anil. Let's get the awkardness out of the way. Yes, I sent you three emails to two different email addresses. Yes, you didn't respond. That's okay! I understand. You might not have seen it, didn't think it was a good fit, or were just drafting your response! Call me annoying persistent, but I would love to work at Glitch this summer.

So as I'm sure you're aware, I would like to intern for Glitch this summer. So let's talk about my beliefs, and why I want to work at Glitch. (We'll maybe reference my experienes, but that's not what this site is for). P.S. If you've already read this far and also read my email and are already ready to say no, No worries. Just send a quick dm back on twitter :).

My first core belief is change. I believe that if you don't think something is right, perfect, or where it needs to be, you have the power to do something about it. Whether it's something huge, like gun violence or climate change, or something small, like fixing a pipe in your sink. While some of that may come from my mom who insists that I never make my bed well enough, I firmly believe that change is a powerful and good force. I don't think any person, community, event, idea, culture, or project can't be changed for the better.

My next core belief is...people. Now let me guess what you're thinking - "What the hell does that mean?" Let me explain :) If I go to an airport, I'm joking around with the TSA agent, the people around me, and sometimes even the people who sit next to me on the plane. Whether it's at hackathons, model un conferences, debate tournaments, or protests, I'm always talking to as many people as I can, and making new friends. I love interacting with people and communities, and that's centered around what I want to do at Glitch, and part of the reason I love Hack Club so much.

That's a great question Anil! Here's why: What I love about Glitch is that it makes coding more accessible—putting power in the hands of students. High schoolers can achieve so much when barriers are removed, whether in coding, politics, or even in public speaking, and that’s a mission I align myself with. These are problems I've tried tackling through Windy City Hacks, High School Democrats of America, and the debate team I’ve founded at my new school

If you couldn't tell from this website, I'm an activist and love change. Glitch is embracing change with their values and their culture. You openly call for accountability on yourself, openly strive to better your work culture, you're radically inclusive, and your platform embraces friendships and community. I want to embrace all of these things and run something I like to call the Glitch Summer Games
