"The Entrepreneurship Collection" by Joshua Capulong, Finance Academy Student
The entrepreneur collection in the library is very diverse and covers entrepreneurs of all sorts of genres. Whether it was food to inventions to technology the library has it all. I used this collection to see how all the entrepreneurs started off and how they found their drive within themselves. Everyone must start off some place and reading about how other people started off makes me think more carefully on how I want to live my life. I drew inspiration from business people such as Ettore Boiardi known as Chef Boyardee and the woman that invented the bulletproof vest, Stephanie Kwolek. Thanks to the library I was able to learn about all these entrepreneurs.
