Donald Trump

by Ryan from Mission Viejo

“I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That's where the fun is.”

I first heard about Donald Trump when I was about 12 years old. My mom was watching a show called The Apprentice and I sat down and watched it with her. I thought the show was cool and I asked my mom who was that guy. She told me he was a businessman and was very wealthy. I soon started watching the show and wanted to be like him. He attracted me because he was rich and is a smart person. I wanted to become like him and go to a good college and become rich like him.

Some of things he does is buy/sell things. He is an entrepreneur. He is very successful in his job. He acquired assets from people when they were in harsh times hence bidding at cheap prices. The first venture that Trump capitalized on was a 1200 unit apartment complex that he invested in penny free by backing of the Government loans. He went to a very good college. Wharton Business college is the one he went to. He makes millions of dollars each year and he needed to be smart and have a good education to do this. He was very successful in the end and everyone knows him around the world because of this.

When he was young he looked up to his father and wanted to be like him. He worked with his father most of the time. His father Fred Trump was a successful property developer that helped form the young Donald's business sense. Donald acknowledged his father's influence by stating that “My father was my mentor, and I learned a tremendous amount about every aspect of the construction industry from him.” And then Trump began his career in his family's real estate business after studying at the Wharton Business School. He worked with his father for five years and was extremely successful in making profitable deals. His father commented on his son's business success by stating that "everything he seems to touch turns to gold". He was a very smart man and turned out to be very successful and wealthy.

Donald Trump contributes to society by doing a good job in his job and making people happy. One way he does this is making his famous T.V show called The Apprentice. It is probably one of the most popular shows on T.V and everyone enjoys watching it. He also gives to charity and to society and helps everyone out. He also doesn’t think too highly of himself so he feels the same way as everyone else. He is very smart and helps people out in some way.

My high school goal is to get good grades, don’t get in trouble and graduate high school. I will want to take a business class in high school so I become familiar with the area. Once I pass high school I will go to a business college. I don’t know which college I want to go to but I want it to be a good one that will help me become successful. I then want to pass college with a master’s degree and move on with my life. I want to be involved with a great business that pays well. I will then make a lot of money and I will be fine for the rest of my life being happy. Mr. Trump has inspired me greatly. One day I want to become just like him.
