Located in Southern California's historic Old Town Pasadena, Camille Winbush's ice cream parlor Baked Ice celebrated its 1st anniversary with Winbush receiving the coveted 2004 TeenPreneur Award, from Black Enterprise Magazine. The award recognized Winbush for outstanding business leadership and achievement among her peer group. Winbush and Baked Ice have also been featured in People Magazine, Teen Magazine, Kiplinger's Magazine and Fox News. "We are honored to have Ms. Winbush address the attendees of the program this year," says Smart Start Program Manager Tamika Hinton. "Ms. Winbush is a perfect example of young entrepreneurship. She can speak to her peers about the ups and downs of it and they will listen. We are proud to have developed a solid youth entrepreneur program in association with the African American Business Summit 2005 where teens will walk away with information they can immediately use."

It's nice that she's become an entrepreneur at such an early age. I wish I would've gotten started off early like her because I wouldn't have joined the military. Farrah Gray is another amazing story about young entrepreneurs. Anyone heard of him?
Are you still in the military?

It's a great story on how youngins can overcome any obstacle regardless of how it comes at you in life to achieve your goals.
I know what its about, but I choose not to spend time reading another person's book on trying to help myself, because he did it, when I have the aspirations in myself to do what I choose for my future. Believer it or not, I've overcame many obstacles, I've been through things people 20 years older than I may never have to worry about in their life. I just choose not to read any self help type of books at this point in time, maybe later in the future. But thanks for your insight/input.

I bet you get this question A LOT...but I can't help but be inquisitive. Why are you in the military? Oh, and who are you with? Air Force, Marines, Navy...?

I joined the military to get away for one and it's cheaper for school unless you fail a class or two of course. Everyone has their own reasons and i'm in the Air Force by the way.

I hear that response a great deal (No one ever says they join the military just for sh*ts and giggles). Is financial aid THAT hard to come by nowadays? I would ask if you liked it, but being in the military would almost require some level of tolerance. But I'm just speculating here.

I never do anything just for sh*ts and giggles, pie. Everything has to have a purpose for me to go after it. Naw, it's not. I just wanted to get outta VA and my first supervisor when I joined the AF hipped me to taking classes. I was away for the first time in my life and I didn't buckle down early but it's never too late. Yeah, I like it because i've gained some experience and my job requires that I have a security clearance which is definitely a plus working for a civilian company that requires it.

Oh, I was just being rather facetious with the sh*ts and giggles comment. I figure just about anything is done with a particular purpose in mind. As for the benefits, I heard that many times over, but I personally would rather commit seppuku than to join the military. But hey, to every man his own.
