How has ISM benefitted Bryan Putnam?
"ISM has benefitted me in more ways than I can possibly list. It taught me a great deal about school, work ethic, my professional field, discipline, and much more."
What was a challenge they faced and overcame?
"I do not always have a very strong work ethic unless it is in something that I am very invested in. But now I see the importance of working hard and doing my absolute best work in everything I do regardless of the task."
Advice
"Don't let the bad stories or the workload scare you away from partaking in this class. Every second you spend in that classroom and with professionals out in the field is something special that you will look back on and be grateful for."
