My name is Zach Levy and I'm from Grafton, Massachusetts. I am currently a Sport Management major. I first got interested in opening my own business when I took a Entrepreneurship class my junior year of high school. The main project of the class was to create a fake business, and then deal with all the revenue and financial aspects of running that business. I am very interested in opening my own pub/bar type restaurant with a sports theme. I love walking into a restaurant and seeing a plethora of sports memorabilia and flat screen TV's. It really creates a great vibe and atmosphere. For example, there is a bar/sports themed pub called 'The Banner' in Worcester, Massachusetts. It has about 20 TV's and Boston Sports memorabilia covering the walls, with one huge flat screen TV behind the bar. I am an independent person and would like to run the business alone but I would consider starting up the business with a partner. My friends and I sometimes talk about what it would be like Whenever I'm in some type of small business/restaurant, i always wonder what it would be like to own something like that when I'm older. I know that it costs a lot of money to start up a business like that, but if it's successful, it'll definitely be worth it. Also, being the boss means that all the responsibility falls on you and you're the person that's going to be working the most, but I'm up for the task.
I was really inspired by Course Hero because he really changed how students take notes, do homework, and study for exams. The founder, Andrew Grauer, is only 24 years old and is currently a Spanish major at Cornell University and has raised over $2.3 million from investors alone. Unfortunately, it does cost money to see all the exam questions and notes people post, however, if you upload 40 documents per month to the Course Hero website, you receive free access to the website. If you aren't uploading 40 documents per month, it costs $84 per year. Another great thing about Course Hero is that college students can pay to rent books for a whole year.

Zach, I think it's awsome to hear about the reason why you wanted to be a sports management major and yeah, I didn't know about there being a coaching major either but it is something that I feel would be great to study and wanting to coach for the Red Sox or the Bruins are great dreams to have and I wish the best for you. In regards to Course Hero, I think that it was a great idea to have because it helps to have other people's opinions and notes to help when doing your school work because you can compare and take things that other people might have thought and ad it to your own perspective on the subject.
ReplyDeleteHello Zach Levy I am glad you found a major that you are interested in. Opening up a bar or restaurant sounds like a great idea. With the business majors nichols offers your dream job can become a realty. I love your determination in wanting to be your own boss and taking up the responsibility. I would love to open up a sports bar when i am older as well because i feel like it would draw many customers and be a great experience. I like the idea of Course Hero and agree that it will help many students around the world. The cost is not bad when your using Course Hero often.
