My Project

My entrepreneurship class is all about building strong leaders who can succeed in business and inspire change in their communities. To support this, I’m requesting two books that were essential in my own career: The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John C. Maxwell and Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek. These books will help my students learn how to lead with confidence, create trust within teams, and develop the skills to tackle challenges head-on. By using these resources, students will gain real-world knowledge they can carry with them into the future.

I want to give my students the tools to become innovative and empathetic leaders.

These books will teach them practical leadership principles while encouraging them to build businesses and organizations that value collaboration, trust, and integrity. My ultimate goal is to help them develop the mindset they need to lead with purpose—whether that’s in the business world or their personal lives.

What makes my students special is their curiosity, drive, and passion for making a difference. They’re future entrepreneurs and changemakers, eager to learn and grow. With the right resources, they can take their ambitions to the next level, creating meaningful impact in their schools, communities, and beyond.
