Budding Businesswoman
When I was fifteen years old, I decided I wanted to own a business. So I talked to my best friend and we decided to go into business together and make our fortune.
We’d both learned to sew pretty well and made doll clothes for a hobby. We’d been giving them away to friends but decided to sell them instead.
Looking back, I’m amazed at how enterprising we were. We sewed on weekends and after school, put ads in magazines, and even opened two commercial mailboxes for our orders.
And we actually made some money. For three years we sewed and saved and had fun. But she got married right out of high school and I went to college, so our business closed.
But for about a minute, we were proud and successful businesswomen.
