Student Testimonials We have seen all the theory becoming reality with successful people and their businesses. I have the expectation of coming back to Brazil and telling all my friends that becoming an entrepreneur is possible, you can do it. I thought we were going to stay in the classrooms, but no! The place where I spent the most of my time was in the community. That s what s the best - you learn in the classroom and then you see what you have learned in reality.
