-: Yeah, I learned a lot of how to become an adult
while I was here.
I was paying, this was the first place that I ever lived
when I was kinda paying all my own bills, and managing that.
Outside of the academic side of things,
I think it was more just the life experience
that I was able to gain,
and then through some of the social activities,
I've met a lot of people that I've stayed connected with
ever since then that are kind of
in the same business community now.
People I can lean on that I reach out to,
and have conversations with today.
They work in different businesses,
and a lot of what I do is referrals.
If I know somebody's worked somewhere,
I'll reach out to a connection I had,
and a lot of those folks came
from my time here at Ball State,
so I think in all those areas, it's helped.
