3A My Entreprenuership Story
My freshman year of high school, a bunch of my really good friends decided they were going to start up a tutoring service. They called it, "Tutoring for Tomorrow." Tutoring for tomorrow met every wednesday after school for 2 hours. The thing that was so great about this service they started was that they gave students who either, didn't have the means for tutors, or tutoring was something that wasn't accessible to them, an opportunity to get the help they needed. They provided an equal opportunity for every student under any circumstance. Seeing a problem and creating an efficient solution that benefited a large group of people is the soul purpose of entrepreneurship. They ended up being a big part of my school and our community. I enrolled in this class because the creativity and individuality that encompasses entrepreneurs has alway fascinated me. I think entrepreneurs are powerful and self-reliant. The qualities you gain from this are qualities that secure you in any situation you find yourself throughout life. From this class I hope I can exercise and better enhance the mentality behind what makes entrepreneurs. Expanding how I perceive situations will not only help me within the field of business, but in life in general.

Hey Katherine,
ReplyDeleteI really hope your friends go on to create more services that help those less fortunate. I remember in my calc class a year ago, someone built up the courage to ask me for help in the class. I of course said yes and tutored him before the next test. The thing is though, he offered me money and said it was all he had, but instead I told the guy that he didn’t have to pay and it was one of the best feelings to know I helped someone. Sometimes people create services in hopes to make large profits, but sometimes you’ll find people, who look for nothing in return, like your friends. I think the world needs more people like this, and it’s always nice to know they’re out there.

ReplyDeleteKatherine,
ReplyDeleteI find it inspirational that your friends started a tutoring service. Although the business was small, it provided something that was not being offered by others. Business is about finding opportunities and taking advantage of those opportunities. It truly means a lot when it can venture out into the community and impact others. Your story was very motivational.Because of stories like these, it pushes me to continue striving and making the best out of every opportunity.
