Richard NuzzoleseI decided to choose this course to broaden my thoughts and ideas of the subject. As a young individual I  worked for Nuzzolese Brothers Ice Co, a family owned business ran by my father. This was the first true impact that played a role on my goals and future plans. Since then, I have worked as a model, retail sales man, leading to my employment at  Zara helping out with the visual design of the store. I always  knew that I wanted to pursue business and to further my education.  Being an All-State Trombonist I established great creativity along with a powerful imagination. I feel that this course can help me gather my ideas and help me along the way of a successful business. I know through the person that I am and my love for fashion, I will make the best out of this course to pursue the steps that will make up the many paths to my success.

From the beginning to now, this class has been incredible.  I am absorbing everything and am really taking it and applying it.  Professor Ari Vega being the excellent educator that he is, has taught me many great key essentials in starting up my own business and being an entrepreneur.  I feel that not only has taking this class been influential, but it is taught from someone who has actually done it all.  Our professor has more than enough experience and has truly given me the motivation that I will need to continue in my persuasion to being someone looked upon as someone with great success.

Up to this point in my 3rd week, I have come a long way in my knowledge of how the business world operates.  I have learned much in how to run a business and all the points necessary in doing that in one of my classes.  The topic of websites which involve domains was brought up; the minute after I got home.  I purchased 2 domains and am now selling them for over $50,000.  One of them being YOUCANBENEXT.COM.  My expectations for this class in the beginning is nothing close to what I feel it has done for me now.  I am just looking forward to seeing the very outcome of it!

Now I am writing my final paragraph in conclusion of this spring semester business course.  I am just completely thrilled with this course and can't wait to attend the actual school as a freshman in the fall semester of September 09.   This course gave me an expertise and understanding of where I can go in my future within the fashion industry through FIT.   I know now that there is no limit to how far success can go in this field. "the sky is the limit".

Today is my last day here at my Saturday live class.  I now have all the material necessary in starting my own business.  I have a thorough understanding of real life business.  Starting from website design all the way up to taxes, laws and regulations.  In 5 years, I will credit this course completely for making my first million dollar deal.  This is only the start through the path to where my climax will be in my career.
