Entreprenuerial

Trevor is in high school now and he is looking for a source of income. He realizes that he is one of the fastest kids in the school and the cafeteria only has a certain amount of good food and people don’t want to wait in line and waste their lunchtime. He decides to charge people and take orders of food from them. He begins to make a lot of money from that but hears about some people making bootleg CDs and he wants in. He joins them only as a partner and a middleman but eventually, he is given a CD writer and becomes the sole operator. “‘Trevor,’ he told me, ‘You have been a loyal partner.’ And as thanks, he bequeathed unto me his CD writer. At the time, black people barely had access to computers, let’s start there. But a CD writer? That was the stuff of lore. It was mythical. The day Andrew gave it to me, he changed my life. Thanks to him, I now controlled production, sales distribution-I had everything I needed to lock down the bootleg business.” Trevor reminds me a lot of myself, although I didn’t do illegal things in order to make money, I definitely have decided to create a business in order to make some extra money whether it’s a lemonade stand or selling something on eBay I love to be entrepreneurial like Trevor is with his CD business. Over the years I have sold many things, mostly lemonade stands, and various other little things, but I have recently sold a computer on eBay that I added things to. Trevor is a little more reckless when it comes to his business, but he and I both have the same ambition to make money and also get a kick out of being an entrepreneur. I love computers as well as him so it’s nice to see someone who is so well-versed with computers like Trevor, it’s pretty cool to see that someone else also likes to mess around with computers and knows a lot about them as well.
