Alternative options of solving this issue include `break`ing when the right option is found (so the loop variable doesn't get overwritten again) or moving everything into a function:

  func findByName(students []*Student, name string) *Student {
    for _, s := range students {
      if s.name == name {
        return s
      }
    }
    return nil
  }

Both options have the added advantage of stopping iteration as soon as the result is found.
