Undergraduate / A Business Venture; With an industrious nature, I have been met with great success - USC Writing [7]
A Business Venture
Henry David Thoreau wrote "I learned this, at least by my own experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." In my collection of endeavors, I have found this to be true. With an industrious nature, I have been met with great success.
Many times, I have dreamed of building a business to invest myself in. A lack of capital and experience had always kept me from pursuing my dream, but I couldn't wait any longer. After coming across a post in a business forum, I had realized my venture. With my computer and local library, I finally took to the project. This project was one to create an import-export business.
Rather unfamiliar with the topic, I sought advice by means of online forums. I found great satisfaction; many users reached out to me and helped substantially. After much product research, merchant negotiation, and market testing, my efforts proved successful.
I enjoy participating in these forums. My high school is without many avenues for the exploration of these interests. Attendance to the University of Southern California would bring me great opportunities. Among other things, I would like to attend this school for social opportunity and inspiration. I can see my peers being sources for these things. I would like to engage the student body. I may do this by organizing clubs or events.
