1. During the summer going into my sophomore year of high school, I was a Junior Golf Leader at a First Tee of Tampa Bay golf camp. The camp took place at Bay Palms Golf Complex on MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, FL. This also happened to be the site of my "home golf course." Although this position doesn't directly relate to Entrepreneurship, it requires you to think like an entrepreneur. For Example, a lot of the times I would have to come up with different games that allowed the kids to have fun while practicing their golf games. One of those games was called "Knockout." Similar to how you would play on the basketball court, the kids would putt to the hole one at a time. If the kid behind you makes the putt before you do, then you're out. Or, if you make the putt in one stroke and the kid behind you fails to do so, he/she is out. The only difference is that it wasn't a race like how you would play on the basketball course. After all, we were playing golf. The fact that I identified unmet needs for a group of individuals(the fact that golf is boring to kids), and came up with a solution(the game that I described above) proves that I was thinking like an Entrepreneur, whether I knew it at the time or not.
2. I enrolled in this course because ideally, I would like to own my own business one day. Whether or not this will come from a "pure Entrepreneurial approach" is unknown. Nonetheless, I figured that taking this class will only aid me in my future goal. Also, this course is counting as an upper-level business elective for me, as I am a Business-Administration-General Studies Major.
