2 Pizza, 1 Pop, and 1 Home made cookie - $4
During our entrepreneurship week project, of selling 2 slices of pizza, a can of pop and a homemade cookie - all for four dollars, we had so much success. It was so much fun, and we all learned how to cooperate with eachother. I learned that through teamwork, and people working with you armed with a good attitude - you can overcome any problem that comes up. The team was willing to reposition themselves so that they could bring success to the whole team. It was a blessing working with them, and something I won't soon forget.

TOMS Shoes - A History
TOMS shoes was founded on the idea to help others. Children in Argentina don't have shoes to protect their feet. Blake Mycoskie decided to do something about it. He wanted to create a shoe popular in argentina called the "alpargata" and sell it in the United States, and eventually all over the world. With every shoe bought, he intended to give one to a person in need.
Without having to sell his product, the concept of the product sold the product itself. The newspaper started the TOMS buzz, and the internet carried it. Word of mouth was the strongest, and continues to be the key advertising trick for TOMS shoes. If you would like to support the cause, you can go to their website at www.toms.com

Arnold - 3 things we can learn.
There are three things we can take from the life of Arnold Schwarzeneger.
Arnold supported many foundations and kept himself focused on what was really important to him. He brought his family to set and always put them first. From this, I learned that you can keep your priorities straight, even if you're in the world.
Arnold also promoted health and fitness in schools where students were affected because it was overlooked. He was the number one icon and example of a healthy body and mindset. He is an excellent example and role model for me to keep pushing, even if it seems impossible.
Arnold set the standard for pushing for your dreams as well. He had extremely humble beginnings, and fought for what he wanted in life - to be the strongest, and to be an actor. He kept fighting past the hurdles of a hard and "future-less" life. He proved everyone wrong by succeeding at everything he said he would.
