My Featured Journal Entries
"I can’t even begin to say that I have changed so much as a person being in CEO. I will miss seeing everyone, all the new friends I met, all the complaining of how tired we are, and all the times we would get coffee before CEO. I feel like I have branched out more than I ever thought I would. CEO has formed me into someone who speaks when she has a question, and is not afraid to stand out. Most importantly, it has taught me to be a strong person and think for myself."

"Ginny Liss has magical powers or something. Every since we have been on that tour I look at yoga a different way now. I have been doing it at home and can see myself practicing yoga more often... I felt like it really helped me relieve stress."

"If I could describe this week in two words it would be, eye-opening and relatable. Steve Witges speech was one of my favorite speeches so far in CEO and it was very personal for me. I felt a real connection towards his words and wise advice for us CEO students. When he explained why you should be thankful for what you have and said, “Do not compare your insides to someone's outsides” It made me really think about how frequently I envy my peers."
