"The most significant thing I learned was to trust the process, get out of my comfort zone and learn new skills. A lot of things felt scary and unnatural, but I also knew that I had an entire team and fellow colleagues who were there to enable my success, give me much-needed feedback, and encouragement along the way."

"It was unbelievable meeting with a bunch of other people who were nervous and eager. When I looked at my classmates I felt like I was part of something bigger. My challenges were my own but many of them were common to the group! It felt great to feel like I was in the right place."
