Entrepreneurs in the Lehigh Community
I was floored with all of the successful entrepreneurs that presented, I could not believe that the individuals that were presenting their business's to me are my peers! It was truly inspiring and eye opening to think that they have had visions just as I have and instead of marking them off as "maybe I'll pursue ya in the future" as I always have- they executed them! Hearing two girls who have made a business out of jewelry they have designed was especially intriguing because my friends and I in high school used to make really spectacular beaded headbands, bracelets, etc. Yet, despite our friends and family urging us to sell them never did because we did not think we could and yet with a little more positive thinking and motivation we too could have a up-in coming business similar to that of EK (their jewelry business). Additionally, I love planning parties and despite my parents dismay often throw them when they are out of town and without tooting my own horn to too much they are always quite successful! I have always raved about pursuing an career with event planning just because I do not believe it would be a job that I would ever dread a day at work! Thus, I found the Carter3productions presentation to be very enlightening on all of the advantages and disadvantages of that specific career that I was before not knowledgeable on. Lastly, the presentation on good semester absolutely BLEW MY MIND!! I STILL can not get over that I was in a room with a individual who will one day be incredibly famous, mark my words Jason Rappapor will be a household name! The technology he created is absolutely ground breaking and the way he spoke about good semester with such passion and excitement was incredible! He was not excited because of the money and fame he was going to have, instead he was genuinely excited about having changed the way of learning to cater a more desirable experience and shape towards the fundamentals of making learning an enjoyable experience- the way it should be!
Everything about Jason- as an person (with the way he interacted with fellow entrepreneurs, seriously interested with what they had to say - providing feedback, questions, ideas and compliments) to his creation and success of good semester and the caliber of intelligence he clearly has in order to even think of let alone create good semester was truly amazing! And yet, he spoke with such excitement despite the amount of arrogance he could have because of his creation, established his presentation as one of, if not the best, presentation I have ever been fortunate enough to see. I can only hope that with his success he gives more presentations at Lehigh so that my peers can know what I am talking about and can become as equally inspired to follow their own dreams and visions as I am now.
