There have been many entrepreneurs
that have changed the way we live. From Howard Hughes to Oprah, from
Mary Kay Ash to Bill Gates, and from Benjamin Franklin to John D. Rockefeller.
These people have made our lives easier with their inventions they have
created that will leave a mark in the world forever.
What is your task you ask????
1. Choose an entrepreneur
of your choice. Anyone you want, so find one that you really want
to learn about.
2. Find out a little about the background of your person. Most of
the time their childhood is very interesting. But do not go overboard,
if you type more than a page on their background that is too much.
There are other important things we need to know.
3. If you can, try to research why your person ventured out on their
own to create something. Was it because they had a dream one night?
Did they simply want to better the world? Did they just want to make
money? Stuff like that, the good stuff!
4. Then, what did they create? Was it just one thing or were they
into all kinds of things.
5. Include some information about how much money they made. If you
chose a popular entrepreneur, most started out small and gradually
made a lot of money, and I mean a lot of money.
6. Not all entrepreneurs are the same. For example, John Rockefeller
was not only one of the most famous entrepreneurs, he was a great
philanthropist. In his lifetime, he gave close to a billion dollars
to universities, charities ect. That was unheard of during his time.
Be sure to include some interesting things like thatJ
Minor details:
Paper must be typed, double spaced, 12 pt font size, no cover page needed
but will not be graded down if one is used. I am thinking at the very
minimum of 2 pages, but it better be good if it is that lengthJ I really
think if you choose a popular person, you should be thinking in terms
of 3 to 5 pages. If you are the type of student that loves to do a paper
like this, and that would be great if you were, try to keep it no longer
than 6 pages, please!
