As a child, everyone has inspirations to become a professional athlete or a celebrity. As I began to mature, I aspired to become an entrepreneur. Throughout the pass year, I have attended many business camps. These camps helped me understand that the life of an entrepreneur isn 't easy. It takes hard work and dedication to become successful. This is just one of my aspirations. My other aspiration is to work with technology. I love exploring the capacities of computers and cell phone and using them to a greater capacity than most people. The two most influential women in my life, Maria Gay, my mother, and Ms. Bridgette Lyons, my mother 's friend, live the life of entrepreneurs, and are heavily involved with technology. Ms. Lyons was born in Kingston, Jamaica, West Indies on February 5, 1966. She is the youngest of three children. In 1971 Ms. Lyons attended Saint Peter and …show more content…

Lyons likes and dislikes many aspects of her position as president of her company. She loves to see the outcome of her work, when veterans are happy about receiving the needed healthcare. The negatives about her position is the political involvement and funding. Many people within the government want things to be done a certain way and her company 's solutions do not always match their ideas, and many times her company has to create new solutions to satisfy many people, which can be frustrating. Another negative is funding. Congress determines how much money goes into the fiscal budget, then the VA splits it into different business programs. With limited funding, the competition is intense and only a few businesses can be selected. Ms. Lyons was not required to have any extra certification to start her own company, but she does recommend studying business administration because it will help your understanding of how businesses work. Ms. Lyons left me with very valuable information. She told me to always stay up-to-date with the latest and greatest technology so that I will be ahead of the

The Life of Lucy Hobbs I chose Lucy Hobbs Taylor to do my paper on because she is a true inspiration to all women who are, and want to be a part of, the dental field. I hope to become a dental hygienist and live up to the standards she did. She’s contributed in so many ways to women’s rights and dentistry and didn’t let the people who didn’t believe in her hurt her pride. I hope to be as motivating and inspiring as she was to the dental field. Lucy Hobbs Taylor was born on March 14th, 1833 in Constable, New York.

This idea of enjoying what you do as an entrepreneur made me realize, why for example professional athletes live a more satisfying life than many other business people.
