“A real entrepreneur rises above hardships, and makes their ideas flourish.”

Ben, who attends a NFTE class at McKeesport Area Senior High School while most of his classmates are in study hall, has looked up to successful entrepreneurs such as Bill Gates for most of his life. His business plan is for a dine-in and take-out sandwich shop that would be a comfortable place for members of the community to gather and relax while enjoying great, simple food. Ben’s goal is to start his own business within five years of graduating from high school.
