-: So Ball State on its own, even with the core curriculum,
with the other classes I took as electives besides music,
and then the music classes themselves,
they gave me the ability to understand how to persevere
through a ridiculous and copious amount of stress,
(laughs) 'cause that's what college gives you sometimes.
But also showed me how to finish my work,
showed me how to write better, to write more intently
and succinctly, rather than grandiose or over the top,
and just showed me different ways of how to make my point
and put it across in communication.
And so just like I said before, going into it,
just having a degree that said Ball State University,
has that accreditation, it's well known
here in the region,
brought me to a greater advantage in a company
like Concentrics, because they saw that I was a finisher,
that I was a closer.
I was someone who could do what needed to be done,
and get it done with that determination.
And I think that's something that my degree
from Ball State certainly gives me.
