In Sixth grade my two closest friends and me started a "business" where we sold bottle caps in the school yard during recess. These bottle caps were used for a new game that we created one day in the school yard. We called the game "Cap Hockey" and it instantly sparked a lot of people's interest. We began to think that we were huge business moguls and we began to produce these bottle caps for people to buy everyday during school. Business was booming and we even created executive positions in the "company". After a while we started hiring more and more kids to do the selling for us and we even payed them. Unfortunately this was the greatest point of the company because after Sixth grade we gave up the "business".
I enrolled in this course because I've always wanted to run my own business one day. When I came across this class during registration I became interested in what it had to offer. I read the description and I knew that this class would teach me very valuable things that I can use the in the future. I hope to take what I will learn in this course and apply it to my own goals and aspirations of creating my own business. I am looking forward to a great semester and having a great experience in this course.
Brandon, your cap hockey business sounds great! I can't believe you guys went as far as to paying other people to distribute the cap's for students in only 6th grade. That's awesome and shows drive at a young age. I hope you gain the skills you wish to receive for your personal business one day.

DeleteYour bottle cap business story is amazing. Even though you stopped after the sixth grade it’s still pretty impressive. When I was in sixth grade I wouldn’t of even bothered trying to do anything like that for any amount of time.
ReplyDeleteYou and me have similar motives in taking this class. I also found what was being offered here valuable for me in the future.
