Have I Ever Been Broke? To The Point That I Feel Helpless

Fear and anxiety plagued my mind during this transition, however my wife and daughter kept my mind at ease. The information and instruction that was provided from the Professors at Durham Tech galvanized something deep within me. I began to strive for goals that I thought were unattainable as a naïve adolescent. Instructors encouraged me to work hard and to be persistent when it came to the immense obstacles of my course work such as giving a presentation at an honors symposium as an honors student. After countless years of self doubt and negative feelings towards education as a whole, for the first time in my life, I felt like college was an option for

To me, entrepreneurship is completely dedicating yourself to creating something out of nothing, finding an opportunity and taking full advantage of it while embracing new challenges every day. Social Entrepreneurship is an integrated part of Entrepreneurship that aims to use business to

During my career at SUNY Orange, I have grown by leaps and bounds. I have mastered my short comings, earned a 3.5 GPA, made the Dean’s list three semesters and running, earned the Peter Albergani Inspirational Scholarship, and I was selected to attend the Exploring Transfer Program at Vassar College. SUNY Orange has opened many doors for me, doors I did not even know existed. I was not sure that I wanted to attempt to get my Bachelor’s degree, seeing as just getting my Associates degree was more than I ever imagined I would accomplish. That all changed when I was given the opportunity to experience what it would be like to attempt learning at a four year institution.

After spending the last two years at a community college working toward my associates degree, I am transferring this fall to the State University just thirty minutes from home.

The College Transfer Sucess book and ACA 122 had me doing some extensive soul searching and decision making on what I want to do with my life and how I am going to timely and efficiently execute it. I have made some important decisions and learned some very useful tips that I have or plan on using in my everyday life.

Background The Entrepreneurial Approach - Entrepreneurship is from a French word meaning "a person who undertakes innovations and risks in business in an effort to transform ideas into economic goods." In modern business jargon, it has become more of a description of a mind-set, one who will take risks in order to result in gain; one who will use the spirit of innovation and throw off the shackles of "rules" to success in whatever organization that may be (Searching for the Invisible Man, 2006)

I am a full time Dual Enrollment student from North Fort Myers high school. I enrolled in Florida Southwestern State College to earn college credits towards my Associates in Arts (AA) degree in General Studies. This opportunity is amazing, and I am grateful for it, as I can further my education more so here than I ever could in high school. I also get to attend all my classes free of charge, allowing me to get a head start on college and avoid some debt along the way. I have always wanted to attend college and have been working hard in school ever since to be where I am today.

I had never faced homelessness before.I have heard of it, witnessed it but I never thought of it actually affecting me. It started when my mom was unemployed for a short, period between ending of my 8th grade year and throughout my Freshman year, I was thirteen on my way to turning fourteen . I managed to keep a positive attitude and hold my own against it. Ultimately it got to me , when my mom was ordered to court and came back with the news that we had to move out by the end of August.This was the most punishing blow. Thousands of thoughts raced through my mind. Where would I sleep or eat?The thought of the humiliation of being seen on the streets hungry, dirty, made me feel like a subhuman.

I’m homeless. My father left me with my mother by the age of ten. I ran away because I hated the alcohol breath of my mother. Nowadays I sleep under the Deer Lake bridge and don’t recall the last time I slept on a good bed where my mama gave me some warm milk and cookies. People who have nothing die nothing, at least that’s what I handwritten on the walls every day.

Success does not come as a gift package. It follows series of challenging roller coaster where an individual dedication, hard work and an ability to take an advantage of opportunities combines. Earning my bachelor degree from San Diego State University is one of the accomplishment that generates a sense of pride in my mind. I committed myself to walk through my academic path. I worked full time while I was taking full time classes to support financially myself and my study. It was not easy ride but I never gave up my hope. It was a different world of experience in life. In addition to books materials, I learned to live with limited resources, I learned to work hard and open up a new world of opportunities. During the course

Where we get the word “entrepreneur” comes from the French, where the literal meaning is “undertaker”. An entrepreneur is essentially someone who undertakes, manages, and assumes any and all risks that come with the creation of a new enterprise. The English made this word part of their own in the mid 19th century, however entrepreneurship goes back further in history, all the way back to the ancient times. Even America was fundamentally founded by entrepreneurs.

In 2002 it was reported that George W. Bush told the then prime minister Tony Blair that "The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur". Putting it kindly, this was a mistake. Translated from French, an entrepreneur is "someone who undertakes" something. Of course it carries a much wider meaning than that in the modern English definition. An entrepreneur is someone who takes an idea and builds it into something great and successful. Someone with vision, drive and creativity, and the will to make it happen, often against difficult odds. Or certainly that's the general perception. Does this person have to be a genius? Above average intelligence? What defines an entrepreneur really?

An entrepreneur is viewed to be an individual that possesses a unique set of characteristics and abilities which embody qualities such as; freedom of spirit, creativity, vision, innovation and zeal according to Burns, P.
