On the 1st of November, 2008 I made a post on “Lessons From A Young Entrepreneur” featuring Leah Larson, a 17 year old entrepreneur from Sharon, MA and a senior at Bais Chomesh High School in Toronto. She is the founder, editor, and publisher of YALDAH Magazine, a magazine for Jewish girls, by Jewish girls. Leah was one of 5 finalists running to win $100,000 to expand her business, and we encouraged people to vote for her.
She sent in a mail that i will just leave you to read and enjoy.
I’m happy to announce that YALDAH is the Grand Prize Winner of Wells Fargo’s Someday Stories Contest!!
This past Shabbos, my school went on a Shabbaton in a hotel. Right after Shabbos I called my mother to check if she’d heard any news from Wells Fargo. She told me she got an e-mail that we won! My whole school was screaming behind me and hugging me, so I couldn’t hear anything else she was saying! Here’s a photo of me about a minute after I got the news (thank you Elisheva Eisenberg for having your camera ready!)
