It was a beautiful Indian summer morning yesterday and Big Brothers Big Sisters E City student, Samarie Gaston, and her business teacher from Harvey High School, Nell Rapport headed to to the Big Apple where Samarie will compete against 31 other students from around the country for the top E City Business Plan Competition award.
Today is the BIG day!

Like Samarie, all of the students who have been enrolled in the Big Brothers Big Sisters E City program at Harvey High over the past three years have had the opportunity to develop entrepreneurship and business skills. More importantly, they have been given the chance to work with some of the areas wonderful entrepreneurs who've attended class with them for the whole semester. Through these "business mentors" the students have experienced what it takes to create and run a successful business. What is expected of them in a business environment and helped them build the confidence and social skills necessary to become responsible and valuable members of the community.
All of the great students that have been in our program are winners. Some get prizes. All come away with an even greater gift...the priceless time and guidance of a caring adult.
Good luck Samarie. We're all rooting for you!
