- Could
you be an Entrepreneur? Diane Shoemake, from the Collegiate School
in Richmond, Virginia, has some questions for you.
- Do
you like to come up with new ideas or inventions? Do
you like a challenge? Do
you think about how to make things better? Are
you willing to look at a failure and try to make it a successful
adventure? Do
you have ideas about using a variety of resources in different
ways?
- Do
you like to use many different approaches in the hopes of developing
new solutions to problems?
If
you can answer yes to these questions, Ms. Shoemake suggests that
you read, The Kid Who Invented the Popsicle and Other Surprising
Stories About Inventions, by Don L. Wulffson, Cobblehill Books,
1997.
