The honest reason I enrolled in ENT3003 is that it is a part of my course load as an Innovation Academy Student. However, one of the major reasons I selected the UF IA over my other college acceptances (and one of the main reasons I have an interest in this class) is my career path of Biotechnology is an emerging field with the potential to solve biological problems that we have viewed as immutable for centuries, and having innovative and entrepreneurial mindsets I believe will be invaluable in pursuing success in this new field. I hope to gain the tools of an entrepreneurial mindset, most importantly perseverance and learning how to handle the workplace issues I will surely face in the future.

3A My Entrepreneurship Story
One of my most memorable exposures to entrepreneurship was one of the experiences that truly solidified my certainty in what I want to pursue as a career. When I was a sophomore in high school, I attended a career-centered camp called the National Student Leadership Conference, a 9-day camp held at the University of California at Berkeley. My career path for this camp was Biotechnology, and the experience was life-changing to me. We spent day after day engaging in small scale biotech activities, talking to workers in Biotech upstarts in the Bay Area, and ,most impactful to me, participating in leadership workshops where we learned about our personality types, how to work well with others and how to be leaders in our own individual ways in whatever career path we choose.
