#30 I know pop culture.
You’d be surprised at how often a conversation- no matter who it is with- hinges on some element of popular culture.

The program, http://www.clscholarship.org/, is highly prestigious, only accepts a few students, and provides full funding for study at a DoS designed institute. Obviously somebody recognized my skills, so should you!
