Going to U.C. Berkeley was a great experience. The students, the academia, the vibe of Berkeley were inspiring. It felt like I could accomplish anything…well that was in between those moments of despair struggling with an essay or a project. But for the most part, it was a typical college experience. I majored in accounting, finance and marketing and planned on working for one of the big public accounting firms. But in the back of my mind, I kept thinking of someday opening my own business. Ever since I can remember, I've always wanted to start and own my own business. I don't mean to sound cliché, but I do think the bug started when I had my first lemonade stand when I was around 7 years old in Oakland. We lived in the Lakeshore area with a lot of kids in the neighborhood. It was fun picking the lemons from our lemon tree and juicing the fruit. I don't think it tasted very good, but the adults were nice and bought from me anyways. I thought what a great idea; pick fruit, squeeze, add sugar and water and voila you got cash for it. Of course I didn't think it costs anything since I just got everything from my parents' kitchen for FREE. Those summer days always stayed in the back of my mind as I grew older. I always knew I wanted to start something, but didn't know what. Well, that would soon change once I graduated.
