Who am I?
I am currently a Junior at Frisco High School. This is my first year in the Independent Study and Mentorship program. For my topic of study, I chose Entrepreneurship.
I believe that in order to be successful in life, one needs experience. At the age of 13, I created my own fully-functional business through the Young Entrepreneur's Academy of Frisco. Through that experience, I learned the requirements for starting a business as well as the time and effort it takes in order to run one.
In the future, I want to be accepted into a top ranked university and pursue a career in the hospitality industry. I want to continue running the business I create in ISM for the remainder of my life. Also, I hope to build upon my knowledge and work towards improving aspects of my every day life.

Throughout my life, my entire family has told me that anything is possible. They have told me that I can follow my dreams and have no limits to my success. This motivates me into wanting to be the best person I can be; whether it is by working hard in school or spending a lot of time with family, I strive to be the greatest.

"The best way to predict the future is to create it." - Peter Drucker
During the course of my Independent Study and Mentorship program, I plan to acquire information from knowledgeable professionals about Entrepreneurship. Through a multitude of interviews, I will have the opportunity to strengthen my communication and application skills. Combined with the guidance of my mentor, I will create and operate my own fully-functional business. By creating a business, I will gain real-world experience in the field and bring new ideas into the workplace.
I will complete all five of my interviews by October 10, 2016 and have a mentor by October 24, 2016. This will allow me to have more than enough time throughout the year to meet with my mentor and learn from all the advice he/she has for me. I will have a prototype phone case made for my business by January 1, 2017. I will need to create a 3D design of the phone case and meet with someone who makes prototypes for businesses. This is important so I can show customers my prototype and gain their opinions on if they would be willing to purchase it. I will have sold at least five phone cases and have a complete business plan/website set up for the company by March 1, 2017. I will need to build customer relationships through word of mouth in order to get my product/company into the market. This will allow me to grow my business and increase my revenue. |
