Identifying Local Opportunities

1. Braddy Withdraws in D-3 Race. https://www.gainesville.com/news/20200130/braddy-withdraws-in-d-3-race This story describes how former Mayor of Gainesville Ed Braddy dropped out of the congressional race for Florida's third district because the Republican field was already too crowded. The problem with this story is that the Republican field is already overcrowded in this election. Ed Braddy and his supporters are the ones who have the problem with this story. 2.  Baby Andrew remains missing. His family hopes he’s alive, mourns loss of 3 ‘brave women’ https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/crime/article239791693.html This story describes how a baby went missing after his father kidnapped the child while murdering three women in his family who were taking care of him. The problem with this story is that the father took the baby and murdered three women, showing how Miami needs to fix its crime issues. The people who hold the problem is the city of Miami for not working...

Forming an Opportunity Belief

I believe that there is opportunity in investing in Wells Fargo ATM's on campus. As someone who has a Wells Fargo account, finding an ATM on campus that actually works is a very difficult task. Most University of Florida students are on the Wells Fargo plan and they share the same difficulties finding working ATM's on campus. This need has risen as Wells Fargo now only has two ATM's on campus. There is currently nothing being done on campus to build Wells Fargo ATM's. I am very sure that this problem exists as I have spoken to other students about the issue and they share my frustration.  The protypical customer in this situation is the average University of Florida student who has a Wells Fargo debit card.  The first student I spoke to shared similar frustrations about the Wells Fargo ATM system on campus. This student claimed that increasing the amount of working Wells Fargo ATM's on campus is a priority as she constantly takes out money to go out to eat wi...

Entrepreneurship Story

Image
My entrepreneurship story began when I was in middle school and I led my team's science fair project. Although it was a science fair project, we had to present our project to school administrators and sell them on our project. The project part wasn't difficult as finding a science project was simple and easy. The difficult was presenting to our administrators and convincing them that our project was the most well thought out. We did not win first prize, but I learned a lot about selling people on projects and how important presentations are. I enrolled in this course because I hope to one day own a law firm. This not only requires skills like learning the law but also how to make connections with clients and how to run an office. I am hoping this class will help me master those skills. This picture represents what it felt like pitching my project to the school administrators.

Bug List

1. The lines at the University of Florida Bookstore are too long during syllabus week. Why? There's a large amount of people trying to purchase books just as classes begin. 2. The drive through line at Chick Fil-A, on Archer Road, during rush hour takes way longer than it usually should. Why? Theres an influx of people trying to eat Chick Fil-A as they come out of work or other events at that time. 3. The bathroom lines at Bricks are typically very long and very crowded. Why? As people purchase beverages at the bar, the bathrooms become very crowded. 4. The elevators at The Standard always take very long during school hours and will sometimes cause me to be late to some of my classes. Why? The Standard is a very large apartment complex with only three elevators facing campus, causing them to be overcrowded and at times very slow. 5. The lines to enter home football games at the University of Florida are very long and will sometimes cause me to miss parts of the games. Why? ...
