“I got more confident, I started to believe in myself, my vocabulary expanded. I realized that I definitely want to open up a business. You can make your ideas a reality and it’s you who is leading in the way you would like. My favorite part was definitely the presentation because I could be creative with the PowerPoint and visualize my business ideas. In addition, I enjoyed doing the market research survey.”
