This CEO journal not only closes a chapter of a two semester class for us, but a 4 year long story in our lives being one of, if not the last grade we will ever receive as high school students. I have nothing but praise and gratitude for this class and everyone involved from the business owners, investors, mentors, and facilitator. I know that next year’s CEO class will enjoy the class just as much as we did if not more, hopefully a trend for years to come. It is a bittersweet feeling typing this journal after months of dreading the only weekend assignment I had after a couple days of putting it off, but now having all the time in the world to finish one last journal. For it not only my last journal, but Mrs. Siebers’ last group of CEO journals as well as we spent this year with her as her last year. I believe in addition to that and our messed up class size/mix with our lone Belleville student made this year truly special by definition. I would not have traded this year and classmates for any other class. I will never forget everyone involved in this program and I hope the best for everyone for the years to follow. So for one last time I hit “Turn in” as a high school senior and a CEO student.
