3A- Your Entrepreneurship Story

The first time I was exposed to entrepreneurship was sixth grade. My Earth Science teacher posed all her students with an interesting task: come up with an invention that will help improve lives. This task was one I felt unequipped to complete, however I did my best work and ended up creating what I called The Super Binder. Since many of my peers were forgetful, I decided to make a binder that contained all the school supplies a student would need for a day as a twelve year old, such as scissors, pens, and tape. I still remember presenting this idea in class, my palms sweating and heart racing. Though I had a big fear of speaking publicly, I was so excited to share my creation. My peers came up with highly creative inventions. In fact, I distinctly remember a friend of mine inventing peripheral shields for those who often get carsick. From this project on, I realized the amount of potential there is to innovate using creativity. I decided to enroll in this class because my desire to create has never died. I hope to learn what I should be considering when developing an app and how to think like an entrepreneur.
