About Me
Sam Childerson is a member of the envirothon team, pep club, FCCLA, and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at Altamont High School. He is also the treasurer of the Altamont National Honors Society. Sam’s activities outside of school include varsity soccer and basketball. This past summer Sam did property maintenance work for a client near the lake in Vandalia and also worked for Goeckner Home Maintenance. Although Sam is still deciding where he will attend college, he is interested in pursuing a business degree from either Southern Illinois University at Carbondale or St. Louis University.
“I believe the multitude of different activities I have been involved in has prepared me for a class as versatile as CEO. The CEO class will teach me much needed lessons which will train me to be successful not only in business but also in life.”
About My Business
After searching for a hair conditioner to fit his needs, Sam was unable to find one that did the job he desired. Out of this frustration Sam has created Adonis Hair Products, a company focused on providing men with masculine smelling shampoo and conditioner. In a world full of boring 2n1 hair products, Adonis asks you to step back and prioritize your hair. Whether you are trying to take better care of your hair or just simply want your hair to smell great, Adonis will leave you appreciating your mane. You can contact Sam via email at samuelchilderson@gmail.com. Sam plans to study business at Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville.
My Featured Journal Entries
"The trade show is in a little over a week. It is crunch time and I need to make sure everything is ready for the show. This will be very stressful and fun(can’t believe I put those two words in a sentence together). Second realization; now that this journal is finished, I only have two journals left. This is crazy. This year has flown by faster than any year prior. On one hand CEO has seemed to go by so fast. On the other, looking back on the beginning of the year, there has never been a year where I have changed so much. Truly a transformative journey!"

"There were a number of life lessons to be taken away from Scott and Tina. Life is full of twists and turns. It was also reiterated that you need to surround yourself with good people to be successful. And finally the ketchup and mustard. Which was Tina’s way of saying when asked to do something do you do the minimum or do you go above and beyond what you’re asked."

"Between the Experience, basketball, school, and my personal business my plate is pretty full, but it is all preparing me for the future. As I’ve learned by myself and from my mentor, stress can be positive depending on how you use it. This stress and busyness will be appreciated later when I am finally at the end destination I am trying to reach now."
