Entrepreneurship Story
When I was a sophomore in high school, my best friend and I were getting ready for a “pink out” (wearing all pink) for a football game in October. We started thinking about how breast cancer awareness month sparks so much involvement from other organizations and companies for only 30 days, but ends once November comes around. We decided to start a club that would run all year long with fundraisers and events to raise money for research. It was a really fun and enlightening experience! In fact, it is still an active club that my younger siblings participate in. I decided to take ENT3003 because I haven’t really had any more experiences like that since coming to college, but I have a lot of ideas that I would like to get jumpstarted as I get ready to graduate and go into the real world.

Your blog is nicely written. I enjoyed hearing about your involvement with charity, and your success in sustaining a club over the years. It is great to hear about the fundraisers that you were able to host in order to benefit breast cancer awareness and research. I hope that this class is able to inspire you to continue your charity and entrepreneurial efforts.
ReplyDeleteThis post is very inspiring; it's cool to see you take hold of an issue in high school and take the opportunity to make a change and start a club that supported a cause that should be supported year round. It's so cool that your club also continued after you left! I'm sure it will continue to last for years to come.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great idea! I agree that fundraising for a cause should not be limited to just one month of the year when people suffer from it year round. It's impressive that the club is still functioning after you left. I feel like that is the hardest part about starting something that you have to move forward from. You could compare it to selling a company after you have created. Have you made it strong enough that it can stay alive without you. I hope you get what you want out of this class.
