A Letter from Jamie Cambell, the Founder of GoBestVPN

Dear Students,

Those of you who are reading this letter are well on your way to solving real-world problems.

I was once where you are right now. There is no easy way. But there are people along the way who can make the journey a bit easier, a little more fun, and more rewarding.

I would like to be part of your journey, and you a part of mine.

Although we will only select one winner for the GoBestVPN Scholarship for Freedom and Innovation, I wish to continue to keep this program active in the upcoming years to come.

I wish you all the best.

Jamie from GoBestVPN.com

2019 Spring Winner: Carmen Garcia

carmen garcia 2019 spring scholarship winner
Carmen is a first-year student at Florida International University. This 19-year-old submitted an essay titled, “Privacy in the Gen Z Internet Age”. This profound essay covered topics from cybersecurity, crime and privacy issues in an age where technology is deeply intertwined with our lives.

What we really enjoyed reading was Carmen recognizing her (and her peers’) weakenesses in having security holes. She gave some real-life examples such as the use of insecure apps on smart phones because of fads and social pressure. Not only did her essay contain some valuable insight in protecting privacy rights, but also helped our own team learn about issues that the younger generation are facing.
