I would like to thank Belleville CEO for helping me get out of my comfort zone and realizing talking in front of people or two business owners is not as scary as I thought. CEO has made me realize that hard work and determination will take you really far in life. I love all the lessons we get like do what you say when you say you do it. This program has really helped me succeed and has helped tremendously with getting into college and knowing what I want to do for my major. I would say the most meaningful experience I have had so far is when we had our badge business. I chose this because I feel the pickleball tournament made our class realize if we put our minds together we will do great things. I also liked this experience because of the great feedback we got. I can speak for everyone when I say that it was a really good feeling to have people come up to us and say how fun it was and I think that gave us confidence for ourselves and for our class business. This was so meaningful for me because it was when I really started to realize that we are a part of a great program. - Drew Gilliland, Chief Operating Officer, Session Two
