Bored out of my mind, I signed into my AIM screen name that I haven't been on for a while. There I had many old friends from Texas, the state where i used to live. I was just browsing the internet where all of a sudden I get a pop up that crashed my computer temporarily. After a some mild cursing, my computer unfroze and I realized it was a AIM window of my old childhood friend messaging me.

The last time we talked was a few years prior to entering college. Now as college students, we are young adults and have discovered who we are inside. We spent the first hour just catching up on life but then he eventually mentioned something that struck my attention like a hatchet against wood. He mentioned investing and how easily it was to make money. Even though we were childhood friends, we were competitive in everything from sports to video games. I was pretty ambitious as well but i haven't quite found something that made me truly happy but after the conversation, i had an epiphany of what i wanted to become. An enterpreneur was my ultimate goal with enough cash to be comfortable with the lifestyle i wanted.

2 years after this fateful encounter, i still have the burning desire to pursue my dream and taking it step by step to fulfilling it.
