As
young child, my immune system was not in the greatest state. I would get sick
so often to the point where my asthma intensified. It was a horrible
experience. I took various medicines that would presumably cure me of my
sickness and pain, but they were only temporary sources of relief. However, my
health condition would soon change.
My family
derives from Haiti where making homemade remedies is ever so present. I could tell
that my dad felt empathy for what I was experience. He then decided to form a concoction
of his own made up of various herbs, honey, and other ingredients. At first, I
was a little hesitant on trying his newly-formed remedy, but little did I know
that it would do the trick. I was so empowered by my dad’s actions that I
thought about what I could do to help others in need with the talents I have
acquired. Therefore, I have been on a mission to develop a project that could
help a variety of individuals. I don’t know exactly what it is yet, but I know
that I would like it to involve music.
My hopes
are that this course—ENT 3003—will provide me with a deeper insight on what it
takes to get on the right path for pursuing my vision. So far, I am intrigued
by the way this course is structured and the way that Dr. Pryor has described entrepreneurship.
Recently, my mind has been racing with different thoughts about the academic
route I would like to follow in the future. I was actually about to not
consider entrepreneurship as a part of my journey, but after contemplating my
main goals in life, I believe I made the right decision in staying enrolled in
this course. My voyage can only get better from here, and I’m super excited
about it!
I think your story about how your dad created a homemade remedy to help you as a kid is really meaningful. Its cool how that experience inspired you to want to help other people as well. You have a great attitude about the course in your reflection, and I can tell that entrepreneurship is genuinely interesting to you. I liked your picture with the quote about entrepreneurship too, it captures the idea of problem solving.
ReplyDeleteYou have a really unique and interesting backstory for how you arrived here in this class. I think that those experiences are the ones that shape the rest of our lives and it's really cool to see how you took that experience and are using it for something positive for people. I also hope I can learn some useful insight for life in this class.
