While it was a quick 30 seconds, their humility and kindness stuck with me.

It’s hard to believe that I can honestly say I have seven years of professional work experience (professional, sometimes). I still remember my freshman year in high school wearing flannel and listening to Pearl Jam. I remember idolizing the school’s heartthrob, Mike M, and waiting for him to walk by my fifth hour class.
