Assignment 3

When I was a lot younger, my parents were very hesitant to the amount of cash they would give me. They did not believe in allowances and whatever I wanted I had to ask them for it. If they did not approve I would not receive the candy or videogame I wanted. My mothers' exact words were always "If you want something, you are going to have to work for it". I grew plenty tired of the phrase but eventually, it occurred to me it would be my only option to do.

I saved up money for two weeks (around $25 dollars) by means of my grandma and uncle. I told my mother to take me to the local Cosco in our area so I can spend the money I collected. I came out with a big bundle of assorted candies of a whopping 50 count all for 20 dollars. When my mother what all that candy was for, all I said was that it was for a project.

I sold each candy for a dollar at my middle school. I was known as the plug for everyone who felt the need to satisfy their sweet tooth. In only one week, I earned my money back and made a profit of 30 dollars. I repeated this little hustle until I was caught by the school security. Students were not allowed to sell items of interest to other students, especially on a great inventory. My parents, unaware of my actions, were called into to the office to discuss my actions. Luckily, I caught a break because it was nearing the school year, and it would make no sense to punish a student so great when it was my first "offense". My mother told the principle she would handle me when we arrived home.

That evening, after much anticipation, my mother came into my room and told me something I would keep to this day: "Don't get caught next time." Surprised at her response, I looked at her in awe as she followed with the question "So how much money have you REALLY been hiding from me."

Second Part of Assignment

Truthfully, the only reason why I enrolled in ENT3003 was that it was a mandatory class for all Innovation Academy students. However, despite the reason why I am in this class, the best thing to do is to learn as much as possible for it may deem beneficial for my future career paths. The more knowledge I attain, the easier it will be to digest the different aspects of the world we live and from that, make it a better place.
