“At first going into it I didn’t think this leadership program would be very useful and it was just kinda something my mom signed me up for ‘cause she like wants me to try out new things, but at the end of it I found that it’s actually really useful and it’s going to help me in all aspects of life, not just like during job interviews, which is what I thought it would mostly be about.”
“The biggest takeaway for me was how to brand myself with the people I surround myself with, the way I dress, the way I communicate and the way I represent myself.”
“This is something to help me throughout life not just something to get me through a year of school and it’s definitely going to stay with me. ”
“I thought it was going to be kinda boring when I first came and then it turned out to be a lot more fun than I thought it would and it was a great program overall.”
