I met my goals. I learned A LOT. I have $20 for a toy, $60 for the Children’s Hospital, and lots to put in the bank.

I want to put up a lemonade stand every year until I earn enough money to start my own business.
Shriya, Age 8

I was a little scared no one would want to buy my lemonade, but I did it anyways. And I made up my own jokes to tell people.
Fern, Age 6

The hardest thing I faced was talking to people. I felt shy at the beginning, and then I learned it was better to be brave and friendly.
Millie, Age 5

We thought selling lemonade would be fun, and guess what? It is! Plus, it’s cool to have our own little business.
