For my job shadow, I shadowed Taylor Rand the owner of a rental company. It is a tent rental company that primarily does weddings. Going into the job shadow I was not too nervous given that I had already known Taylor from helping him out a little over the summer. However, I was very excited to get to see the day to day of a business owner because one day I would also like to own my own business. I witnessed Taylor doing everything from putting stakes into the ground to setting up events on the phones with clients. It really amazed me how much he had to do to keep everything running smoothly. I learned that in order to run a business like that it takes a great work ethic and a lot of time. You have to make sure you are always efficient when running a business because not only is it on your own time, but your money is also on the line every day. This job shadow really made me want to pursue my dreams even more and a cannot wait until I am able to start a business of my own. In order to accomplish this goal, after high school I plan to go to college and get a degree in engineering with a minor in business. I then want to get a good paying job in the engineering field and work that job until I have enough money to start up a business of my own.
