<p>Founder of "Foodie Club", a club with the sole purpose of taking its members out to eat at local venues. Raised money to pay for its members through restaurant sponsorship and several bake sales on the college campus. It promoted cultural immersion and social development for students.</p>
<p>Started a business with a partner that shoots to encourage innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit from anyone and everyone. It hosts a crowdfunder (like Kickstarter), an Idea Bank (like a regular crowdfunder except the donors come up with the idea), and an e-Commerce store for people to sell their successfully funded projects. More to come, but it is still under heavy development. Link: <a href="http://crowdvoyager.com/">http://crowdvoyager.com/</a></p>
<p>I was employed by the college as a library assistant for my entire second year.</p>
<p>-----Other Notable Qualities and Experiences (Essay Material)</p>
<p>First in my immediate family to attend college. First male within my extended family to attend college. First male out of extended family on my mother's side to graduate high school on the first try (I have about four older male cousins) Only other educated family members that received an education were my godmother (Poly Sci) and female cousin (currently studying law)- both went to Berkeley- I plan to carry the tradition.</p>
<p>Just as my paternal grandparents and my very own mother struggled to make ends meet when they first arrived from Mexico, I too have come to experience my family and I fiscally plummet to the ground. Both parents are now unemployed; we are still struggling. I know how it feels to struggle, and I recognize opportunity when I see it.</p>
