Our Students #GetPassionate About Entrepreneurship

To promote entrepreneurship to our students we decided to host an assembly on November 25th  for all DECA students. We had two main speakers that we thought were the true definition of an entrepreneur. Marc Busko is a motivational speaker out of Wisconsin who we invited to come speak to these students. We also had Tim Harris come talk to the kids about how he defeated the odds and started his own restaurant even with down syndrome. Both of these speakers had extreme passion for what they do and they really came across to the students.

After all of the preparation the big day finally came and it was a huge success! We had over 250 students come and watch as we promoted entrepreneurship and shared many inspiring stories of people who make differences in their community. After the assembly the room was full of applause and so many of these kids came to talk about how this was so inspirational and that they now know that they too can achieve their dreams.

Students came up to the banner that said, "Who Can Be An Entrepreneur?" and put their handprint on the poster. This was huge for our project because students were able to realize that their ideas matter and that they can make a difference if they just put their minds to it! We then hung it on the wall for our assembly and it really just put the whole puzzle together which was great!
