A struggling 16 yr old!(pre-med,MBA,Business, fashion)
Hi, I’m currently a 16 year old who recently got homeschooled and in my junior year of high school. I’m on a journey on rediscovering myself of what I’m capable of doing( I’m trying to learn what I’m good at and I’m not and who I am). I used to run my own candy business and it was fun interacting with people and getting their feedback on my candy so it got me thinking for quite some time that I love knowing what I do makes people happy and makes their day a bit better with a snack so I was wondering if something in the medical field or maybe fashion because I like the way fashion is and the way it hold confidence over me maybe can be an option because I don’t want to work where I will be behind a computer while working a 9-5 job. I like helping people, marketing objects, social media, being my own boss, making discoveries. Things to know about me: -I get bored to easily if it’s a repeating cycle of the same day -I like to travel -my family plays a big role - I like to challenge myself - I have an ENTP personality -I want to make an impact on people’s life's - I want to make my make name known in the world and leave history behind
