Here is a essay that is a 2nd rough copy draft for my English Class
The College Network Proposal
Ok, so let’s face the facts, college
students have several opportunities to make money while attending college. I
mean what student wouldn’t love to pay off their loans while attending college?
No need to answer just pay attention. To me college is all about the course
being studied, networking, meeting potential business partners/friends,
expanding & expressing on your ideas, seeking opportunities and seizing
them for your own professional advantage. Maybe that’s just my ideal or delay
gratification outlook on college, but anything is possible in my eyes. When I
was attending the Art Institute of Pittsburgh I had this idea and the school
remained nonchalant to my ideas, for they felt I wanted particular special
privileges. When really in my eyes, every student deserves to have particular
special privileges; to get them to the level that they need and want to be at. Mainly
because it’s an entertainment school and has everything there that’s in
entertainment, needed is what gave me the idea. And this was what I thought of
doing before enrolling into the school. My idea upon attending this higher
education university was, (Art Institute of Pittsburgh) “why not have networks
that a student can work in, and make money from”? My focus is on the art of
learning how to make money while in college. I’m still creating this factor for
myself.
Along with being apart of this network
you brand yourself, and your own ideas. Get assigned to a section of the
network where you are teamed with individuals that have the same mentalities,
talents, and skills; or they can even be different which tends to work with
graceful cooperation. In these teams it’s mandatory to use your talents,
skills, and time organization to meet and complete a task everyday. You have to
make ideas that are commercial. Which will expand the team’s knowledge on
proper debates of criticism, giving students the outlook that they need for the
professional world and helping them build confidence. The reason for this network is to profit, to
pay off tuition, become a professional and have a secure business/income after
graduation. And of course, have money while you’re an undergrad. This helps
with your path of enlightenment. I mean I can’t remember the countless times I
ran out of cash for things I needed and had to wait for, depend on someone for,
or just hope to God my friend will help me out, even family. It could be from
food, to clothes, needed house accessories, school items, bus fair, something I
wanted or even equipment/software to get myself more in depth with my studies
on my personal time. And this is something that I’m sure other college students
can say is relevant to them. To get you back on track here.
The purpose of this is to get students to
become professionals, period. Many college students go into college and just
party their educations away, come out and can’t get a job or just are in debt
forever. Why not make your own job and, be able to be an entrepreneur? Why not
work with individuals you attended college with and already know on a personal
level? Why not obtain the option that you want in life and make it reality?
Remember these two words “ why not “ just in that exact order. These two words
changed my life and outlook on it. It can get you through any challenge in life;
it has worked for me several times and made a much stronger person, personal
& business wise. It fights fear off the first second that it appears in
your mind and makes you conquer it. Little story, I had an entrepreneur break
down those two words to me of what they really meant. And I mean he was in a
suit and tie etc. I was in regular urban clothes. He looked at me when I told
him that someone told me I couldn’t do something and replied “why not”? What had shocked me was that I knew the idea could
work and I’m sure this guy was a millionaire or had big bucks and he was
agreeing with me. Sure he could have been just making me feel better about
myself. Although he was letting me discretely know that, yes your going to fail
at things and your also going to succeed, do both! My point is that even if he
believed it could work, I knew it could work, that person that discouraged the
fact it could work, their opinion didn’t matter. I was just an average kid to
him at the time possibly that just wasn’t scared to meet strangers, which
probably gave him the reason he said what he said. Since then I been using it
to over-come, my professional fears. And it’s been slowly blessing me because
I’m patiently blessing myself with the help of God, family, friends and society.
Now you do have your percentage of
individuals that come into college & want to start with their career immediately,
only problem is that they feel they need confidence. Why? Because they haven’t
learned everything of course and when they do start to learn they are unsure of
how well they can do what they can do. They are in fear of messing up and not
having the proper skills. I’ve heard from countless students that just didn’t
feel like they were learning anything at AIP while I attended, even I felt the
same way. My thing was once you already signed up to a commitment to something
you obviously have a passion for and are dedicating your life, and future money
to it as well. I believe that’s all the confidence you need. You got
confidence! Most people don’t even take the chance to go to college! They
rather do nothing with their life or just don’t have the confidence, to go to
college! I’m not putting them down because the ones that do not have the
confidence to go to college or university usually work a job they like for
their rest of their lives, which is better than doing nothing! I had a fellow student that attended AIP and also
stays close by to me express his confidence level to me and it made me wonder.
Why did he feel as though he wasn’t confident enough to perform his actions of
studies? Was he not ready, because he wasn’t learning or not getting what was
being taught? Or would he have felt more comfortable with more hands on
projects that consumed his time to make him know he is ready? Thoughts like
this popped into my head and helped build on my idea. It also made me think and
want to investigate more about this.
Investigating did start to get conducted by
me and two other individuals. They were over thirty students that I daily condoned
time with! We were starting our own business, because I knew we had something
special about all three of us that together, it could be a major success. We
argued about several things. Well I stayed humble and silent most of the time
being the overseer. I refrain from debating about matters that were nonchalant
until an interest came to mind about the whole situation. From personal matters
to business matters it was always something, something that helped me build as
awesome businessperson. These two were getting me ready for something huge that
I could do because they seen the potential in my drive and me were unstoppable.
I was pure passion. Together it was a force that we galaxy created. Plus they
knew eventually I would just make a movie from it all and they could be my two
main characters. Point is that I gained to love these two people because they
stayed golden to themselves unlike others I seen at the school. They didn’t
care, they were older and wanted what they deserved. So we were getting tired
of getting treated wrong at this school and wanted to see how other students
felt. Yes, we started conducting interviews on footage to later project.
Unfortunately this is when the school started working against us. I got the
cops called on me about a cell phone in class, which made me withdraw. Yes the
actual city police officers. A week or so later the guy that was in the film
program with me got removed by technology! Like come on seriously? Who get’s
removed by technology? Well it just so happens he was editing the footage,
technology seen it and worked to stop him at it. Which resulted in him getting
banned from the school. And it left the third partner in their by herself to
finish her studies. Little to say God works in mysterious ways. The month after
I left, an $11 Billion dollar fraud case was brought up against the school for
embezzling money for their own personal uses. At least give back to your
students in a much better way. Apparently two staff members had been
investigating them since 2008. Now and I don’t know but we might have set the
bomb off there for those two to say hey, enough is enough.
Now this proposal will need a lot of strategic
attention and must be taken seriously if able to be conducted to create a
change in the growth of students enrolling into higher education schools and
becoming entrepreneurs. It may even motivate those individuals that choose not
to go to college because they feel they won’t be able to complete the courses,
to come attend. This is something you want to compare to the military. One
because it’s for your needs and benefits, two you never know where it can take
you professionally in life, three it can reform a lot of ways that people think,
four the service for it comes first. I really am proposing this type of operation
to get students that start to lose their drive of creativity, for whatever
purposes to keep them going. Students that feel they need more confidence. Give
students a way for income. Form more cooperation in being business savvy
amongst your peers. And get entry-level students to understand what it truly
means to be a professional! I’ve encountered several students that want the
same exact thing, somebody or a team to work with while in college so that they
can make money. I always get the same responses: that individuals seemed
serious at first then they fade off, or there a few members or one member that
doesn’t put their infinite percent into the group as needed, things of that
nature. I’ve actually experienced this numerous times so I know how it is. Which
is terribly sad, I mean if your going to quit at going for your goals that you
want with a team, which makes things easier, you might just quit at everything
in you’re life.
In conclusion to this proposal thus far
here are a few things I suggest that are needed. There has to be a schedule to
be first conducted that way everyday, everybody, on the team, knows his or her
priorities for the week, every week. Now, this takes much needed time to
conduct and organize. Time will make it easier day by day. Make business contracts, assign a leader, set
schedule times, motivate each other by doing personal creativity, push
yourself, workout and talk with your team members, really become a family
between learning each other, make sure that brainstorming is done first to get
everybody’s ideas on the table. I believe this will also bring the world’s
economy up for the same reason that everyone has an idea or talent that they
want to present and make money from. Some don’t expect anything from it and are
just naturally gifted to do those talents. It can even go as far as getting a
world list of people that want help with their ideas, showing them how they can
get their idea off the ground. I guess it would be similar to that show “Shark
Tank” with the difference; we are investing time into their idea and knowledge
that we gained to get their business running, not funding money. I want to as
currently planning to start a website for ideas and team collaborating. Last
but not least enforce professional classes and things to do on your spare time
to keep productive. Nonchalant classes that is purposely boring to give
students the knowledge on how to keep interesting. In this class you just write
down ideas that interest you while in the class and then later share them with
the class and instructor. In order to keep their minds flowing with interesting
things to do. This is a project that can start in colleges and eventually
expand to lower education schools, getting them ready for the digital and
business world. Or as said making them professionals, in & outside of the
class, after learning. I really hope that this can motivate students worldwide,
starting here at Full Sail it would be a huge worldly help out, at least I
think. The good thing about it is that it is already starting here at Full Sail
with our brand new Connect site that we have, which is forever awesome!
