Entrepreneur Story

The experience of me being exposed to entrepreneurship would be my time being active at my high school's microfinance club. The club's purpose to was for students that are interested about economics to gather together and discuss and learn about the how businesses and banks operates with individuals with the help of our economics teacher, as well as to talk about current events. While none of the members were entrepreneurs, the club exposed me to entrepreneurship in the way that it gave me, along with some other members, the opportunity to attend a high school conference in Massachusetts where bankers and entrepreneurs are the guest speakers.
The speakers gave their insight on how they got started in their respective field, what are the responsibilities in their current job, and general advices for students that are interested in what they do. That conference gave me a better insight in the whole business field and was overall a pleasant time.

I enrolled in ENT3003 because I feel like this course would provide me with a lot of reflections and experience needed to have a mindset of someone looking to start or be in a business. I hope to learn the fundamentals of being an entrepreneur or at least what it takes to be one, and in general to have a good time during this course.

  1. Hey Yung-Teng, what a great entrepreneurship story you shared with us, it must have been a great experience for you to be a part of that microfinance club, and especially taking part in the conference in Massachusetts where bankers and entrepreneurs are the guest speakers. They probably spoke about things that made you learn a lot about the entrepreneurship world and business in general

  2. Hello Yung-Teng,

    Your entrepreneurship story was very fascinating! My experiences with entrepreneurship are quite different but that is what makes these assignments so interesting. Also, having such an experience in high school is amazing. Back when I was in high school, there were never opportunities like these, however, its very cool that opportunities like this exist and students can learn entrepreneurship early. Thank you for sharing!
