  • Accidental Inspiration

    One of the most interesting parts of my NFTE experience so far has been being able to host a variety of volunteers from both the corporate and the entrepreneurial world at my classroom sites.

Suddenly, entrepreneurs become real people and having a career in business seems achievable.
