Recognizing Young Entrepreneurs

In fifth grade, I started my first business selling bookmarks, but at the same time, I was homeless. I remember being cold and alone outside while it was raining. All I had on was a grey hoodie and some khaki shorts. I made a promise to myself that I was going to be the greatest entrepreneur ever and that I was going to get a full ride to college and learn all I could about business. Currently, I am in my final semester at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. I will graduate debt-free in May. At UNC, I have had the opportunity to Study Abroad, Intern in San Francisco, and I was able to start the business I currently work on my tech startup ANTE.
