2) Learning dining etiquette.
This is important because I now know how to conduct myself at a formal dinner or business meal. This will also be helpful in my future as I may have business lunch meetings in my career.

3) Public speaking.
Public speaking is important because it is the first impression you give when speaking to people. In college interviews and job interviews I will have to sell my skills to the interviewer. Good public speaking skills will benefit me in these situations.

Everyone I talked to was very nice and talking to all of them really made me more comfortable with talking to people. At some points I would have to take to multiple people and that helped with my public speaking. Overall, Guardians of Hope really showed me how many opportunists there are and how you have to take the risk and push to succeed.

I met Gregory at one of our first NFTE conventions. He designed clothes for Aster & Black. Not only did he inform me about his business but also about how to present yourself to someone important, such as what you are wearing, how to stand, and eject your voice. He was the first person who really made me understand what and how I was doing something.

Mark came to Holy Trinity to teach is about our 60 second pitches. What he said was very useful and it will always be in the back of my head. He taught us that it was okay to take risks because starting a business you have to take risks and be ready for success or failure.
