ENTREPRENEUR

Financier, Economist

Creating a business from an idea is an amazing accomplishment,

a combination of air and a little bit of capital;

but then that’s what an entrepreneur does. An entrepreneur

can also be a lemonade stand owner, a paperboy with his own

route, a baseball card collector who trades up until he or she

has the “perfect” deck, or it can be the junior high school girl

who creates a summer day camp for the local kids in her

backyard.

Enterprising kids are often overlooked until adulthood.

Finding programs that tap into their entrepreneurial spirit

will help build resilience and instill self-reliance. These programs

start in your own community and are usually implemented

in junior high and high school. The Wharton Business

School Leadership in Business Program is an example of a

program that offers high school seniors the opportunity to

attend a camp in which they can explore the field of business

and leadership and have fun at the same time.
