My Entrepreneur Story: Assignment 3a
In August 1995 I was born down in West Palm Beach , my parents from a young age encouraged me and my younger brothers to be go getters. When I was about 7 years old I went through a creative stage in my life. I built a tree house, a crossbow out of pvc and I also made a fishing rod out of a stick I found with eyelets and a reel. Those are just some of the things I can remember from my child hood. I actually had an idea to make some sort of sleeve with a light to fit on a single key to help with unlocking the door at night. I had this idea after seeing my dad struggle quite often with his keys in the dark. Several years ago I saw my same idea for sale on a commercial while I was watching TV. It was pretty cool seeing my idea come to life but also frustrating because that could have been me selling it. It made me wish I had the resources and the determination at the time to stay with my idea.
I enrolled in this class for two reasons I have always been interested in entrepreneurs since my high school history teacher talked about Henry Ford and Walt Disney. These are people who followed their hearts and minds and did what was at the time thought impossible. This is however an elective for my major which is APK but I feel like this class would be extremely useful to me when hopefully I venture out and start my own physical therapy practice. I hope this class opens my eyes to things that I take for granted that could be improved upon. The bug list was already a great start it really made me think out side the box already.
I thought this was a funny picture from my child hood. I am the tall one in the middle and to the right of the picture is my middle brother Noah and the chunky one on the left is my youngest brother Micah.
That’s awesome that you were creating stuff as a kid. My 3rd grade friend built a large treehouse, causing me to envy him since my house didn’t have a large tree. It is always frustrating to see your ideas already taken. However, at least you know that you had a good enough idea that there was a market for it. Good luck to starting your own practice!
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate your creativity as I have always been a creative person myself just in different ways. I am not the gadget creating type of person as it seems you are but creative in other ways. Before changing my major to Sport Management I was studying to become a physical therapist as well. I know how difficult that major can be and wish you luck on having your own practice.
