I am thankful for the CEO program as a whole. Specifically I am for the opportunity to collaborate with my classmates from different schools in the area. Also the opportunity to learn something new everyday from peers, business leaders, and mentors. One of the most meaningful experiences that has happened to me is the personal growth I have gained in this experience. A major reason why I joined this program was to grow my mind and improve myself as a whole, and my CEO experiences so far has done that. CEO, everyday, has made me a better individual by making me push myself to ask questions, learn, and put myself out there in front of peers and important leaders. Getting me out of my comfort zone is something that the CEO program has done very well. It has taught me how to apply accepting defeat, critical thinking, and teamwork to my everyday life outside the classroom. Thank you to CEO I have asserted myself not only into more leadership roles but how to run those roles well. I can not wait for the more learning and self improvement CEO has more in store for me. - Adrian DeClue, Session One
