Hello, all!
I think it appropriate to begin with a quick introduction, so let's start with that!
Personal
My name is Rana (pronounced 'Reh-nah') and I am a newly transferred student at the University of Florida. I previously attended Florida Southwestern State College where I achieved my associates degree at 18 years old upon graduating high school. I have one 6-month-old kitten, Jin Jin, who is under the delusion that I exist for the sole purpose of acting as his claw-sharpener and food-bowl-filler. I am an economics major with zero passion for essentially anything outside sleep or the realm of the kitchen which is unfortunate since I spend next to no time sleeping or cooking.
Professional
I have always been a worker. Since I was young, my father would pay me $0.10 for every nail I picked up off the ground in his makeshift workshop behind the house; then, I got a raise for working in his grocery store ($1.25 an hour!). Today, I work as a pharmacy technician at Publix, a babysitter, and phone campaigner.
Exposure to Entrepreneurship
Now, we can finally get to the actual assignment! My father, as mentioned previously, owns a local grocery store in Lehigh Acres, Florida (read about how my family and our community endured the hardships Irma left in her wake here - I strongly encourage everyone to read it and not just because my father wrote it and I am proud of him, but also because it will restore your faith in humanity and improve your quality of life by 300% guaranteed); in addition, he also founded his own engineering firm after working for the county for many years.
Growing up in a household where I was able to witness what it takes to become your own boss and the fruits of that immense labor, I have a profound respect for those who do have the stamina to operate their own businesses. It requires an incredible amount of sacrifice: sleep, unnecessary spending, a life... And it also requires self-motivation and discipline. Being your own boss is not easy but then nothing good comes easy.
Why I Enrolled in ENT 3003
I enrolled in this class because I felt that there were no other 3000+ level electives that would be interesting or beneficial to my growth as an individual and someone considering becoming an entrepreneur in the future. I wish I had a better story to tell, but alas the facts remain indifferent to my wishes.
Have a great rest of the week, folks!
