3A - My Entrepreneurship Story

3A - My Entrepreneurship Story

In middle school I created a recycling club. This club was to promote recycling in the area of Gainesville, FL. My parents and grandparents never recycled and after watching a documentary about all the waste buildup reaching our oceans and affecting the animals that inhabited it, I knew I had to do something. We reached out to the nearby neighborhoods and local businesses and encouraged them to recycle their plastic and glass. They still continue to do this club at my middle school.

I enrolled in ENT3003 because I am a marketing major and I needed a class to fill into my schedule. While signing up for this class with my academic advisor, he said that he had overheard that this particular class was actually entertaining and that you learn a lot about everyday business life. I am hoping to gain knowledge of how to start my own business and what it takes to run one.

2. While I'm sleeping, my sheets tends to slide around and get untucked from the sides. This makes my bed look messier than it actually is. 
3. After having a phone charger for a month, mine always tend to break or unwire. This means I have to buy a new phone charger every month which can get costly for a college student.
4. When I am in my apartment and my neighbors above me are playing loud music and stomping on their floor. I can never relax or sleep when this is happening.
5. My refrigerator door is always so heavy to open and makes a lot of noise opening it. Every time I get out of bed at night to grab a water I feel like I am going to wake up my roommate.
6. My refrigerator also produces way too much ice when I want to get some out and some of the ice cubes end up falling to the ground. 
7. It bugs me when I purchase an item and I try removing the sticker but some of the glue sticks on. Then I have to rub it off for a while until it completely comes off.

In the beginning of this assignment, it was quite easy to make up things that were bugging me in my everyday life; I just had to look around the room to come up with them. Around number ten it was more difficult to think of things that bugged me. I had to really think about my schedule and what took more time than others. The last five things that bugged me took about 30 minutes to come up with because they weren't ordinary things that would happen to me every day or every week.

Hi! Its me
