I am so thankful for the CEO program because it has helped me grow as an individual and grow a better understanding of what the real business world is like. Throughout this class I have been able to gain many new connections with many amazing business people. They have all taught me many different things about running a business and being a good partner. It has also allowed me to become more comfortable and has helped me grow my confidence when holding conversations with adults or peers I do not already know. One of the most meaningful experiences I have had this year was the mentor match day. On this day I was able to meet many new people and grow a connection with my now mentor. One thing he told me that really inspired me was “have a purpose to whatever you are doing.” After hearing this, I have started incorporating that with my work in the class business and while thinking about what I want my personal business to be. Over all this class has been so much fun and something I am very thankful for because I enjoy doing it everyday. - Britt Wilhelm, Session One
