through weekly app-building and functionality-integrating assignments. The modules covered a general overview of Swift with an emphasis on UI design alongside in-depth explorations into APIs, navigation, options, etc. As a member of Academy, I followed a carefully curated curriculum taught by our Chief Academic Officer. Last fall I was chosen to be a part of the inaugural Academy class of App Team Carolina, one of the only college iOS teams in the nation. Thank you team and GO DAWGS!! #godawgs 💪🏼🏆🏆💪🏼Īuerbach: I'm sorry, Stetson Bennett. He earned the respect and the titles and he’s a fantastic example to share with people starting out or wondering how to get unstuck at work.Ĭongratulations to Kirby Smart, Stetson, Brock, and the entire Georgia roster for giving us a 15-0 season and #back2back National Championships. And now, he’s simply let his work and his hustle speak for itself. He was a Heisman candidate and wasn’t applauded for it. Many people didn’t believe in him, and they were loud about it. He gave up his smartphone because texting and social media were a distraction. He didn’t let pride stop him from playing at a junior college to get the chance to get back to Georgia where he knew he belonged. Stetson got the nickname “the Mailman” because he delivered (and gave coaches a reason to remember him). He knew he was an underdog, so at the recruiting camps he wore a postal service hat so that he would stand out in a field crowded with taller, more seemingly atheletic competitors. A two-time walk on quarterback (one at a junior college, no less) and definitively not as tall as he “should be” at only 5’11”, he crushed it last night to win back to back National Championships for my very own Georgia Bulldogs.Įven if you aren’t a sports fan, reading about him is a lesson well learned. Stetson Bennett is a living example of having a belief that he could be something and accepting no one telling him otherwise. Either in evaluating someone as a hire, or as the person who is looking to advance their own career. I find that people routinely underestimate perseverance and hard work.
