Harry Perseverance

The first impression of leadership I think I can ever remember having would definitely be Harry Potter. I first read the books between the summer of my 4th and 5th grade year. I fell in love and I still absolutely love Harry Potter but that's besides the point.

I think even from the very beginning I could relate to Harry because he was an eleven year old who has been through a lot but pushes through it all to embrace something totally new and try to stand above the crowd. There's a part at the very end of the first book that really inspires me, Hermione is telling Harry how brave he is, and how good he is at making friends and it's very heart touching. Harry Potter is a relatable character, he's not afraid to stand up and take the plate, he's compassionate, and he's a person who you can look up to because he isn't afraid of being himself. Sometimes people may call him stupid for chasing after the bad guy, but I feel that it just shows that you have to advance through the hard spots in order to get you to a better spot, and even if you have to keep pushing your perseverance will pay off in the end.

"Everbody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it'll spend its whole life believing its stupid."

I am an entrepreneur because I have big goals in life. I have the perseverance to get myself through the tough spots, I have the compassion to make connections, a vivacious personality that draws others in, and I have a strong urge to help the world in the best ways that I can.

Albert Einstein once had a quote that said, "Everybody is a genius. But, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it’ll spend its whole life believing that it is stupid.” This is actually my all-time favorite quote. I believe this is a very interesting way to look at the world, because now-a-days we judge everything by school and how much schooling you have. I want to open my own record producing studio and I wish to use this to help out people who wouldn't necessarily make it any other way. Just because you aren't the brightest crayon in the box, doesn't mean you don't deserve to make it. If you have an amazing singing voice, then that's your talent and passion and that's going to be what gets you places in life, but society makes that close to impossible sometimes. I want to be that person that goes out of the box and helps people that are truly talented.

I also wish to make impressions on people's lives. Just because my line of work isn't directly helping people all the time, I wish to make a person's day a little happier through my art, or inspire someone to do what their passionate about and not let others down. Being an entrepreneur isn't just about opening your own business, it's about being a leader to others, someone that can be depended upon but also someone that treats you like an equal. I want to be that person that goes out of their way to make people feel better about themselves. I feel that confidence is a big factor to knowing yourself because if you aren't confident with yourself, how can anybody else feel confident towards you and what your trying to do? If you exude an aura of confidence, even if you aren't confident, people will believe you and because there are so many people that lack self confidence, they look to the people who are confident in themselves. Confidence opens many doors and I feel is a big factor to making yourself an entrepreneur to not only yourself but to others as well.

Who am I?

Me? My real name is Kassondra but I definitely prefer Kasey. I'm a freshman at the Ohio State University and it's pretty awesome. I have an extreme passion for anything that involves creativity. I like painting and drawing and I also like reading and making bracelets.

By the time I graduate I hope to have a major in Stage Production and a minor in Entrepreneurship. I would like to do an internship at a tattoo studio in the meantime so I can eventually own my own tattoo studio. After, I wish to eventually go to two years of schooling for cosmetology so that I can open my own barber shop, and two years for Music Producing so I can eventually own my own record producing studio, as well, and make my own techno music. By the time I'm fifty, I also hope to own my own clothing studio.

I'm a small girl with big dreams, but I truly hope that my big dreams will be my inspiration to success. The Arts are what I love to do, and my passion will help me thrive to get where I need to be. We all have a plan in life, it's just a matter of those that are willing to stand up to the plate and do whatever it is you need to do to get yourself where you need to be. When it comes to your destiny, it's yours and nobody else's which means that you have to do it for you and you can't let anybody hold you back from being you. I was once told that we are like houses, your foyer is how you present yourself, your kitchen is the gathering place, and your bedroom is for you. You don't want people coming into a messy bedroom, which means you have to get yourself together and know yourself before you can let anybody else in.
