-: So I went to Penn State Altoona,
and I was in the inaugural class of Sheetz Fellow Program.
And I was also the president
of our Enactus team my senior year,
both of which I would consider were going
through a pretty critical time.
Obviously, first year Sheetz Fellows,
things were under development.
Both Steve Sheetz and the director, Prof Bon,
really wanted to make sure
that the program was student-minded,
wanted to make sure that students
would really get full impact out of it.
And so we as the first class,
we had a lot of heated discussions, if you will,
as to what direction the program should go in
and this and that.
And so as far as
working with a really tight-knit,
I mean, there were eight of us in the first class.
And so we had most of our classes together
and obviously we had our actual
Sheetz Fellows meetings each week,
so we had to make sure that we didn't burn any bridges,
if you will, because that's who we'd be seeing
for the next couple years every single day.
And obviously I have a smaller company,
and so same kind of teamwork thing going on there
where difficult things will come up
and you have to work through those details.
And everyone wants to make sure that it's done right.
You might have different opinions
on how it's gonna happen,
and you have to tread carefully at times
and make sure you don't hurt anyone's feelings
or whatever be the case.
And that everyone feel like they're being heard.
And so Sheetz Fellows was fantastic for me
as far as that went.
