- The first fun fact is actually regarding Guardians of Hope. Mr. Shively, the Chair of the Math and Science Department here at Holy Trinity, won the 2017 raffle at the Guardians of Hope! He now gets to attend a football game!
- Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) was actually founded by an entrepreneur who became a high school teacher, named Steve Mariotti.

Being part of NFTE, you will also have the opportunity to be eligible to attend very important events, such as Guardians of Hope. This was honestly a very fun experience! I got a chance to meet several of the Holy Trinity donors and even tried to sell them raffle tickets! Albeit it was a little intimidating at first, because some people look very serious, it became fairly easy to fit in. This was one of my favorite things about NFTE, because my NFTE mentor, Lisa O'Keefe, went there to have a conversation with my about how things were going and even to buy a raffle ticket. It is also exciting to know that juniors who attend this event with NFTE are also eligible to going the following year, but only some students get this privilege.

In NFTE, all the essentials about writing resumes and preparing for real job interviews will be learned. Here is what I learned:
RESEARCH BEFOREHAND
Prior to going on the interview, it is important that you have done research on the company, because this will show that you are serious about the job. Also, this gives you the opportunity to ask questions about things that you are unsure of.
CHANGES TO RESUME
If you were just elected officer of any club, earned a special award, finished a volunteering program, it is important to add it in the resume before it gets to your potential employer, because this shows that you are involved, and this is essentially what potential employers are looking for. If your GPA is not higher than a 3.0, it is not recommended to include it in the resume.
DRESSING APPROPRIATELY
It is very important to look very presentable on the day of the interview, because that also shows your level of seriousness toward the job. You should dress up professionally, and make sure that your clothes are comfortable, because after all, you will be the ones wearing them.
ELEVATOR PITCH
In the interview, it is all about you. Thus, you have to make sure that you say all the things that you want your interviewer to hear about, but you also have to be cognizant that you do not have all day to do this. With this, you may practice your elevator pitch, which is basically a mini speech about yourself, highlighting why you should be employed, instead of your competition.
Note: During your time in the NFTE course, you will have mock interviews to help you prepare for the actual one! Everything will be fine.

Throughout the course, various guest speakers come to the class to speak about their experiences and give advice to the class.
- Steve: He came every Tuesday to teach the class about all of the entrepreneurial mindsets and how they are applicable to the real world, too. One of the activities that I remember is the survival activity, where groups had to make very careful decisions as to what to bring, who to bring, and what to do in order to survive. It is not about the goal, but it is about how to get there that matters.
- Lisa O'Keefe: She was my mentor throughout the formation of my business plan. Before asking me anything regarding my business plan she would ask me two things: "How are you doing?" and, "Is there anything you need to ask me?" She always motivated me to do the best in everything I did. She also spoke to me about her experiences, and taught me that collaboration is key.

- It is always important to leave a great first impression on someone one meets in important events, such as the Networking Breakfast or Guardians of Hope.
- Through EverFi, I learned all about credit and how to protect myself so that I do not become a victim of fraud.
- I learned about all the entrepreneurial mindsets, which all helped in my final NFTE presentation with the Fay Servicing judges when I had to present my business plan orally.

Business Plans are practically the heart of all successful companies! They give structure to one's business. The completion of a business plan shows really if one's company can be successful; it includes sales projections, competition and competitive advantage, total projected revenue, target market analyses, and much more! With a business plan, one can more closely see in which direction the business will be going in the potential future. THEY ARE SUPER IMPORTANT!
