GRAHAM, N.C. (WGHP) — Sometimes, the best lessons in life are learned from those who have been through some challenges and succeeded.
That’s why Career and Technical Education teachers at Graham High School are bringing in guests from the community to talk with the students about their journey into entrepreneurship, like Jaidale Slade, owner of the I Love Lemonade Food Truck.“I started from a table in a tent. Small setup. I was selling my lemonade event to event, city to city, and eventually I got the food truck so we could pair some food with my lemonade,” Slade says.
