"My experience with Southwestern has been surprising to me
because I was my own worst skeptic in the beginning, and now I've
noticed that I can accomplish so much more than I ever realized
just by going to work, having a positive attitude and sticking to
a good schedule."

"When my parents first heard about Southwestern they said
definitely not. It wasn't something that they wanted me to do. They
didn't think that I would be able to make it on my own. They didn't
think that I would be able to be responsible for myself. I definitely
proved them wrong. Now they absolutely love Southwestern. My little
brother is coming out to sell, I also have a cousin out to sell
and I have a couple of cousins that want to come."

"The biggest thing that I would take from Southwestern is
how to communicate my ideas effectively with a lot of different
kinds of people. I knocked on thousands of doors and I met people
from all different walks of life."

"I have no idea what I want to do when I graduate college,
but I know whatever I end up doing I am going to be successful because
of the things I have learned through Southwestern like time management
skills, the leadership skills, the teamwork skills, the communication
skills, and how to relate effectively with people, are going to
help me no matter what I do."

"In my personal opinion, Southwestern is the best thing a
college student can do. You get the most experience and have the
potential of making the most money, and you meet a lot of cool people."

"With the money I've made so far working with Southwestern
any additional expenses during school have all been paid for. I
opened up a retirement account; I have a little over $10,000 invested
so far. My car is completely paid off and I've been able to travel
with friends to Las Vegas, I spent fifteen days in Europe for spring
break last year, and I've been able to donate money to charity too
so it's been pretty cool."

“One of the biggest things I’ve
gotten out of [selling books] is finding out where my strengths and
weaknesses are by really testing me and seeing what I’m made of and
seeing what I’m capable of.”

“There is a lot of unknown and a
lot of questions, but it’s good for both the kids and the parents
to let go of each other and let the kids build their own future. Because
the kids will be better off for themselves if they are able to build
their independence as early as possible.”

“I think the personal growth is
irreplaceable. And it’s not like you're out there by yourself, the
thing I learned is that there are so many people supporting you. The
people that support you all the way through is what makes it worthwhile.”

can do for a summer. I don’t think you can learn what you learn in

anything else that I’m going to do in my life.”
