Aiesha's current situation:

I aspire to start a non-for profit organization to help under resourced, and under educated individuals get into school.

This business will help with funding, scholarships, and more!

Aiesha's blog post:

Education is very important to me. I believe that school helps to create who you are. Think about it. Parents who have money don't send their children for example, to Harvard just because. Yes it does create a sense of prestigiousness for the individual, but the real reason parents prefer to send their children to certain schools is due to the type of social atmosphere their children will encounter.

I believe that we all should have the chance to experience the perfect transformation process (school) that is why I aspire to own my own business that will educate people.

• Social atmosphere that rocks!
• Creativity of the mind!
• Highest level of thinking!
• Opportunity to learn great material!
• Organize your ability to work hard when expected, and play hard when done!
• Learning that you are the author of your own future!

What are your thoughts???
