99- were few colleges which gave cash cover as good will from their side. That I
100- never decided to accept in my life. The reason I don't take money from any
101- educational institute is they sometimes devide that fee to number of students
102- attending workshop. I don't feel right to take money from the pocket of any
103- students. Still some college claimed they are giving from their grants and
104- not taking anything from students. I took that money and donated each to

149+ for me. Which I accepted because I felt there is nothing wrong in taking such

151+ because finding another option during short breaks at unknown place is quite
152+ time consuming. There were few colleges which gave cash covers as a good will.
153+ That I never decided to accept in my lifespan. The reason I don’t accept
154+ money from any educational institute is they sometimes charge students for
155+ raising that money. I don’t feel good to take money from the pocket of any
156+ student. Still some college claimed that the money belongs to their grants and
157+ not raised from students. I took that money at that time and donated each to

183+ ----------------------------------------
184+
185+ I am inspired from curious questions raised by scholars. They forced me to
186+ plunge deep into the subject. It was little difficult to afford such a huge
187+ hours with having a full time job, but after observing my personal
188+ improvements I consider this as a good investment.
