In-Class Essay

I define the success for myself by seeing myself having a good job and a solid financial foundation where to rely on. I believe I truly am an entrepreneur because I am putting myself out there in the cyberworld where everybody sees everybody else. 

The skill set of the entrepreneurs that we learned about this week are way more far fetched than what anyone in our class is doing. They live and breathe Silicon Valley. Those entrepreneurs, 80/20 ratio, have the financial backing of family members who have worked for Google or Microsoft. I am pretty sure that also somebody from East Los Angeles can create an application straight from their device. You also need to have that drive and passion that will get you to your goal. 

The thing I am creating right now is a world where we use pure, clean energy derived from nature's power. My goal is to create a small wind turbine prototype. The engineers who are going into apps instead of the backbone of technology, I think they are in both ways behind me and in front of me in terms of leadership. Behind me because they are not doing anything good with their careers. It is almost as if they  spent thousands of dollars in college unnecessarily.  On the other hand they are in front of me because they are working on some of the coolest and best apps for the iOS and Android devices. 

Seeking a Mentor

Dear Mentor,
I am Alfredo Medina. My current residence is in Santa MarĂ­a, California. My interests are the environment and saving it from total collapse. I am currently working on a blog, not only for school but as a hobby. Building a wind turbine and a solar panel would be something I would like to achieve. 

The skills and abilities I need are anything to do with steel manufacturing and electrical work. Maybe taking a trip down to a wind farm would be nice. 

I know very well that fossil fuels are being extracted from the mines and fields at breathtaking rates, amd are accelerating global warming as we speak. 

If it is okay with you, I would like you to be my mentor. Thanks for your time and consideration.

Raising Digital Awareness

The blog does get some traffic from around the world. The statistical number of pageviews I receive are starting to change again. The heart beat is going once more. I think what really grabs the audience's attention is the detail to the visual aspects such as the colors and the content, if it is a good read to recommend to someone else. 

This Is Only a Test

I am thinking on creating some kind of working model that works with the sun or the  wind. Or I was just thinking a PowerPoint was fine for the class. For the food, I don't know what to bring. Any ideas? I will take any.

Up to You

I believe that my work is entrepreneur quality because I have really pushed on the main blog and letting it speak for itself, and stand tall and proud. It is also the fact that I really worked on my first ever blog in  all my school career.
