My passion is business.
I discovered my passion after having real-life talks with my uncle about how stocks and investments can change your life and/or improve it. The idea of owning part of a company (or even owning half of your favorite company) is amazing to me because if your company does great you do great or if they do bad you might lose money. It also shows loyalty and a bond that you can have with your company. Sometimes, the business world can be very complicated and very conflicted, but with stocks and investments you can change many things.
Attending Summer Youth Business Academy will help me explore my passion because it will give me more insight into my passion. This program will also prepare me for college and prepare me for the real world when I pursue my passion. I would be happy to say that this gives kids like me an opportunities to be something people never said I would be. Also, it will do wonders for me because I do not have enough money to pay full tuition and fees.
Ricardo is a good candidate for this program due to his high-energy personality and thirst for knowledge in the world of stocks and business administration. One of his goals is to use the knowledge and experience he gains in college to help "fix" the problems in his community rather than walk away from them. This frame of mind make Ricardo a good candidate for many programs, but could serve him well as he begins the journey to gain the skills to be a successful business owner in his community.
Proud of you Ricky! Make sure you give it your all!
Good luck.
