SIFE Competition

I am traveling to Minneapolis, MN next week with the SIFE Team from Roberts. SIFE stands for Students in Free Enterprise, and all year we have been working on various projects. Some of the projects work to earn money, while others use that money to help those in need. I have been involved in SIFE since freshman year. I have served with the CASH (Creating Assets Savings and Hope) project, as a tax preparer doing people's taxes for them for free on Saturday mornings. I have traveled to Guatemala to help a village's business ventures and to show their children what the future can hold for them as we took them on a field trip outside their village to the capital city. I have played an ethics game with children, taught a business program using friendship bracelets, prepared and presented Financial Freedom workshops for freshmen classes at Roberts, directed a CASH training video, and so much more! Our team has invested so much time and effort into our projects, and each year we present on what we have done. Our 24 minute memorized presentation was recently judged in Cleveland, OH at Regional Competition. We did well and have moved on to National Competition, which is next week in Minneapolis. Our team flies out Tuesday morning - we are meeting at 3:30am to board the bus!! We have 3 days of competition and events then come back on Friday. This trip will complete another one of my goals: to travel to a state I have never been to. Should be an adventure!
