A committee of higher education in the senate proposed a budget to raise spending for

universities and colleges. However, the House has proposed to cut spending on universities

and colleges. The problem is that our government is cohesive and communicating on what 

they want to do with higher education spending. The people who have the problem is the 

government and which then trickles down to researchers and professors in universities and 

colleges.

Duke is trying to make Florida residence pay for the hurricane cleanup and fixes and the 

trump administration put tariffs on solar power equipment. Both of these situations are a 

possibility of that Florida residents will have to pay more for things that are out of their hands. 

The people who have the problem is the Power company Duke Energy but they will in turn 

make it the Florida

residence's problem by increasing prices.

Florida is a leader in the Nation for rebuilding their construction industry, however, in the past 

three months Florida has dropped down to fourth place with only an addition of 4600 jobs. 

The problem is that Florida is starting to get beat in the race of job creation among the other 

states. The people who have the problem are the ones who live in Florida and need a job.

APPOINTED BY SCOTT, BUT BASED ON WHAT?

http://infoweb.newsbank.com.lp.hscl.ufl.edu/resources/doc/nb/news/169A858FDEDB4EA8

The educational board mostly consists of lawyers and the wildlife commission has a past 

community relations executive for a retirement community. The problem is that these sections

of the government appointed by the Senator are not properly appointed to the right people. 

The people who have the problem are the teachers and staff at schools in Florida or the 

people who work for Florida fish and wildlife.

Bug List

1. During the evening and night I can hear my annoying roommates out in the common area
1. It exists because the apartment I live in has paper thin walls and a air vent above my bedroom door that directly opens up to the hallway so sounds come in very easily.
2. The filtered water and ice cubes from my fridge tastes like chlorine which tastes disgusting
1. It is because the fridge uses chlorine based filtering instead of charcoal filters
3. The paint on my apartment walls chip and stain so easily
1. This exists because the apartment management only put one coat of paint on these walls 
4. I hate the fact that I can no longer listen to my phone with headphones while it is charging without getting a special adapter for it
1. This is because phones companies have gotten rid of the 3.5 mm headphone jack without the right technology to replace wired headphones
5. Car front windows get cracked way too easily from pebbles or debris that get shot at it
1. This happens because cars in front of you shoot rocks and pebbles from under their wheels toward your front window
6. When someone goes on their phone while in the middle of talking to someone
1. This happens because the person on the phone thinks that person they are talking to isn't more important than what's going on on the phone
7. When I lose something and can't find it ever after that point
1. This exists because humans can not remember every detail about their lives and do not keep things in one place forever
8. Someone interrupting me while i am trying talk about something
1. They feel the need to talk over me because think their addition of words will mean something to the conversation and don't wait until i am done speaking
9. Others talking while I am trying to watch a show that I'm interested in or like
1. The others who are talking don't care as much as I do about a show so they think it is okay to talk while the show is on
10. People chewing food or gum with their mouths open
1. They do not have manners and do not know any kind of etiquette for eating
11. Drivers who don't wait their turn at a stop sign / intersection
1. This happens because they are too impatient to wait a few extra seconds to get where they are going 
12. When my roommates leave their already washed laundry in the drier or washer and I need to use them
1. They are too lazy to get their clothes or they have to " do something quick" before taking it out
13. When my roommates don't take out their trash so it smells in the apartment
1. Again they are too lazy to take the trash bag down to the dumpster
14. Dishes pile up from roommates and I can not cook because they have used most of the pots and pans
1. Too lazy yet again to do normal chores and it is not my responsibility to clean their mess so I can cook
15. When you try to talk to someone about the issues they cause but they only give you excuses
1. They do not want to take responsibility of their actions and they don't feel as if they have done anything wrong
16. My car tires always getting nails or foreign objects stuck in them and that then lowers my tires' psi so i have to go get them fixed 
1. This is because people leave sharp objects but mostly nails on the road
17. When I make food for someone but they let it sit to the point of it getting cold
1. This happens because the person either purposefully or mistakenly doesn't start eating relatively after its ready 
18. When someone parks too close to my car so that it is easy to ding and hard to get in / out of
1. This exists because people are bad are parking or are too lazy to correct their parking.
19. When people who drive on the highway and go the speed limit or below while in the fast lane
1. People don't know common sense about driving or they are just old hags who are too stubborn to get out of the way
20. When semi truck drivers go into the left lane even though they aren't supposed to
1. They usually do this so they can get around one person who is in the slow lane with them

This list seemed difficult at the beginning; however, as time went on it became easier because my previous points would remind me of correlating or similar things to add after.

My Entrepreneurship Story

My step father has been an entrepreneur for most of his life. He started a company in his early twenties which sold TV dishes that would take the TV stations from over the air before they started to scramble them. Letting these people legally get free TV services back in the early eighties. He then made all sorts of small companies that would eventually be sold off or closed. However, he would always find a new one to begin. For few years he owned his own bar / restaurant which he says was the worst investment he had ever done but made up for all the memories he had from that experience. The most consistent and thriving business my step father created is the one he had made almost 20 years now and is still running to this day. It is a fiber-optics company that lays underground cables for the government/military and big corporations like Verizon and AT&T. These fiber-optics cables are for sending huge amounts of data from one point to another and can be as thick as six inches wide that also go for miles on end.

I decided to take this course because I do believe that building a company yourself or with others is more productive of your time than working for someone else. Learning about entrepreneurship and successful guidelines on how to get started with making your own business are lessons everyone should learn sooner than later. Furthermore, those lessons and the strategies to becoming successful in the real world work environment is what I hope to get out of this class
