Beginning Point  Everyone has a phone and uses it. However, the phone needs to be charged and when it is out of battery it is useless. This is why I think that phones that regenerate batteries within themselves can be useful.

Your Entrepreneurship Story   The time in my life when I had an interaction with entrepreneurship was when I started to watch the television series called "The Shark Tank". I had no interest in entrepreneurship before and thought that it was a concept far related to me. However, watching the show and being engaged in it made me realize that anyone can be an entrepreneur. It was literally just anything in everyone's daily lives that could be optimized into a better version. Watching this show built my interest in entrepreneurship.     The reason I decided to take ENT 3003 was that I wanted to develop and learn more about my interest that I grew by watching The Shark Tank. I hope to learn more about what entrepreneurship is and really look at the world with the perspective of an entrepreneur.
