Reflections From the Class of 2013: How I’ve Grown During My Time at Kellogg

I think I’m still too close to graduation (five days later) to articulate exactly how I have changed and grown during the past 22 months at Kellogg. What I do know is that I am a more confident and more skilled individual and am incredibly sad to leave Kellogg but incredibly excited to unleash those skills and that confidence on the world at large! The people I have met here have challenged me to think differently, to think bigger and, yes, indeed, to think bravely. I wouldn’t trade being a member of the Class of 2013 at Kellogg for anything in the world.

During my time in the JD-MBA program, I’ve been surrounded by amazing peers. I’ve learned how to work with and lead individuals that are often times stronger in the subject matter at hand, and that’s a tool that will be handy after school. The joint degree has also challenged me academically and provided for me socially. As a result, I now know that my bandwidth for taking on projects and engagements is much greater than what I had understood it to be before Kellogg.

By being surrounded with the highest caliber students (and friends) for the last two years, my ambitions for the path ahead have soared. I have emerged from Kellogg much more confident in my abilities to tackle any challenge and with the hunger to take calculated risks.
