"It's already the 6th week of CEO! Time is flying by so fast. We have met so many amazing people and toured some incredible businesses. When people told me that CEO would change me so much, I didn't really believe them. They made it sound like it was too good to be true but now that I'm experiencing this for myself I know that I was wrong. It's all true. It does change you but for the better. It changes your perspective on life, the way you talk to people, and the way you present yourself to the world. CEO is not just a class, it is a once and a lifetime experience."
