As the school day drags on, I often find myself doodling vehicles ranging from track stars to big ol’ pick-’em-ups. At the end of the day, my friends look upon them and ask bewilderedly, “THAT’S a doodle?” I know how I can do it; the opportunity has not yet arisen. Some day, I’ll have a car or two designed and built from scratch by me.

How I did it: Keeping up with homework was not hard. Practicing skills, fluency, and proper grammar was. This, combined with some software, helped power ma francais on through the year. Read how I did it…
I believe my hobby shop would break the mold. While it would have the RC cars, RC airplanes, slot cars, model trains, Legos, an awesome window display, and all the other things I’ve always loved, my hobby shop would sell computer hardware + software, including video games and consoles, and have a small cafe attached to it. Boy, that’s a run-on sentence.
Anyway, acquiring the start-up money will be the toughest aspect of this goal. I’ll have to buy, lease, or build the building, which would be part of a mall, strip mall, or freestanding. I would also have to buy all of the stock, of which I don’t even know where to go to get it “wholesale.” Then I’ll have to hire employees, with a few specialists in computer construction.
P.S. I currently build and sell a few computers. Anyone know where I can find all the popular/high-end parts at wholesale prices?
P.P.S. I’m currently 15 years old and thinking big, baby!
