![]() Chavez High school in Southeast, Houston I decided to go all in with entrepreneurship, and I found myself with multiple different business ventures I was excited. After graduating as class president in 2016 from Cesar E. I purchased the book called Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, which really opened my eyes to another level of business. As the years progressed I tried out different business ventures like selling makeup door to door, getting paid $5 for completing my friends homework assignments while attending free business networking events wearing a $15 Blazer that my mother bought me while begging corporate leaders and businessman to mentor me and with having rather minimalistic accomplishments in their eyes I had little luck so I decided to turn to books. With having very limited resources as a child I found refuge in selling chips and candy out of my backpack in middle school in order to help my parents and my brother and me. Now as a twenty-year-old entrepreneur, I’ve been able to set the foundation in the business world to obtain this lifelong goal. Although this aspiration seemed light years away at the time, I always knew in my heart that if I acted and thought critically and took action that this dream could one day become a reality. Ever since I could remember I’ve thrived to be a strong problem solver just like my father and as a child, I was asked what do I want to be when I grow up? With a very high pitch voice, I replied with, “I’m going to be a Millionaire”. ![]() I always had an entrepreneurial mindset, which I obtained early on just by watching my parents work hard to make ends meet. ![]() I grew up in Long Island, New York as a child, and at the age of ten, me and my family moved to Houston, TX, to pursue better financial opportunities.
