My experience at the [business plan] competition taught me a lot about the business world. Things that most high school students rarely learn in those 4 years or even after. You have to be dedicated and passionate about your business in order to put in the time and effort into owning your own business. It prepared me for what could lie ahead. -Lee, Sheridan
I enjoyed it [the business plan competition] very much. The feedback that the judges gave was invaluable in revising our plan and the knowledge I gained from talking to the professionals helped me better understand the business world today. -Matt, Carmel
