Today was one of those days that changes you. Nothing miraculous happened today but the thought processes in my mind were particularly exhilarating. In English today we went to the library and learned about the cool database system that the school has provided the students with. I think I was the only one who was supper excited about all of the knowledge that the school has provided for me on the Internet. Dixie state college has bought expensive licenses to hundreds of databases, which contain e-books, article, and periodicals for all enrolled students. Scrolling through thousands of Google results looking for an accurate qualified source is the thing of the past. Dixie has paid thousands of dollars for the user rights for me to find the premium recourses on whatever I want. They did this in the hopes that I would learn how to read and cite scholarly papers in my college courses. But I have a different plan for this knowledge. I have access to thousands of business plans of successful companies and books on Entrepreneurship. It is now that I will start planning my future, and my plan will not be under researched and shaky! I had a lengthy conversation with the head of the DEX marketing club today and we feel it is our duty to create a college venture unlike anything Dixie College has ever seen. We have several ideas that seem to be profitable but the next step is logistics. I am accumulating research on successful businesses like the ones we are going to start, and using all of the business structure guides to come up with plausible business plans. I am having so much fun learning about business I can hardly stand it!!!! If only every teacher knew that dangling money in front of a student really does bring out the ambitious leaner!!!!!!
