I probably relate to Jack Uesugi to most. He brought up a t-shirt company. The article mentions that he was surrounded by art and loved it, as do I. I probably wouldn't have the ambition to do such a thing unless a friend or family member was willing to work with me. However, before I end high school, I would like to maintain a high GPA average, receive and maintain 1st chair in concert band, perform my solos well in band and be accepted into a good college.

I think i related to Jon the most.I probably would not have the ambition to take on something so great
Some of my goals to finish before I finish high school ore to maintain good grades and to find and apply to a good collage
I think I relate to Ritik, because I am always looking for new ideas and new things to get into. I like to do try things out, to see where it gets me. When I was in 7th grade, I attempted to make a website with a few friends but I didn't follow through with it. He is good at math, he even competes in competitive math. I am good at math also.
i think i related to Ray land because it said that when ray was in the eighth grade, he was a natural born coordinator. Ray had a passion for planning, traveling and meeting new people age 17 he bought his first motor coach.

I can relate to conner zwick. i have the same ambition i just don't think i would have the same opportunity as him. My goal before i graduate is to have a job and a car
i can also relate to Conner Zwick my goal is to have a a stable flexible job and a car before i graduate to ready myself to start my life
I can't say i relate to any of the teenagers. But I want to start my own photography business which is going to take a lot of work, like these teenagers had to do. They all started their business with a simple passion, & photography is my passion. Before i graduate high school, i would like to accomplish having honor roll all year, just like every year before, & keep my GPA high so that i can go to collage to be either a design or biochemical engineer & a photographer on the side.

I can relate most to Jon Koon. He was my age when he started his business. I don't think i have the ambition he has to start a business at the age of 16. That's a lot of stress for somebody that isn't even old enough to vote or anything. Before i graduate, I would like to become more responsible, and get a good job to make money for college.
I'm not exactly a business man but I think I can relate to Zwick the most. He knows what he's talking about and so do I. I think I'm going to have a part time job and a car before I finish high school.
I think I can relate to Connor Zwick the most because if i was to invent something it would probably be like his Flashcards+ site. I don't really have the ambition to start a business though. my goal is to have a decent job and car before the end of highschool so I can move out.
i can relate to conner zwick. my goal is to graduate high school and have a car. i also want a job to pay for all my expenses that i have. if i were able to have the opportunities as all of these teens i would go for them but until then i'm going to stick to no job.
I think I can relate to Ray Land. Honestly I don't think i would've set my goals as high as he did at the age. My goal is to graduate high school and go to college. I also want to travel and I like meeting new people like Ray does.
I can kind of relate too Connor Zwick because, during his junior year of high school, grew disenchanted with the education system. He saw that there was a deep disconnect between that system and the process which students learned new things, and wanted to explore that dynamic further.
I can relate to Conner Zwick, all though i wouldn't have been able to take on such a large goal as him. My goals to reach before high school ends are to have somewhat a job and car and to find the right college to go to after high school.
I feel like i can relate to Jon Woon because he started with one thing and then completley shifted to something of the opposite. Plus he ended going in to fashion which is where i want to be. I would most definatley take the opportunity and try and strive to be an entrepreneur. Before i graduate high school i'd like to have some of my designs brought to life and exposed though i dont think it will happen.
I can relate to Connor Zwick, I probably couldn't make as big as a goal come true like he did. I may not want to grow up and major in Education but I do think that in the future technology will continue to grow.
I'm not sure if I'd have the guts to just go in like Jon did and take his money to force his way up and do all the high end stuff he did I do like that way Ritik made his was up from very young making sure he had a spot from his life in the start
The goals i have in life is to be successful, be a hair dresser and somthing in the nursing field. , i dont think i could make a big goal as he did , but i really dont wannt to have my own business . i think its to much to keep up with ,evenb though you are your own boss.
I feel like I can relate to Ritik malhorta because Im really into gaming and web hosting becauseI love games and I always wanted to host a gaming show. I don't know why though just always have. Now would I've set ambitious goals like that at that age no because I its not really my goal that I wanna do or that I set but it was a goal that stuck out the most to me and out of all the ones that I would of chosen from the selection.Before I graduate high school i would like to leave a legacy as a great athlete not just on the court but in the classroom as well and years from now hope to be a middie hall of famer thats my goal when I leave high school
I relate most to Connor Zwick because he did what I would done. He put his mind to something, researched it, and then acted.I feel like i would of had the same determination as him to successfully complete my goal. My goals after high school is to go to college and get a four year degree.
I can relate to Conner Zwick because we're both disenchanted with the educational system
I feel like i relate to Brian Wong the most out of the selected teens. He just took a look around him and realized what people like and started from there! It was so simple and I feel like it's easy enough to relate to everyone. All you have to do is stop and look around and see what people do and like. I however don't feel like I could take my ideas to big companies and pitch my ideas to major corporations. I have small goals right now that include getting a college scholarship and going to college to study kinesiology!
I can't say I related much to any of these teenagers because I don't have the determination to achieve what they have. I related to Jon Koon the most. He was 16 when he started his business, and I am too. Though he started his business at 16, I don't think I would be able to. I wouldn't have it in me to achieve such a big goal.
Teens thesenext days are becomeing more mature about how theyll have to manage there money and take on their responsibility as an adult
I can relate to Jon Koon because i am highly into fashion. it's absolutely amazing for him to have started a clothing line at such a young age that is worth $80 million today, especially when acknowledging the fact that there are adults that have been trying to start a business for years. I know his family must be very proud of him. would I be able to accomplish all that he accomplished probably not but before i end high school i plan to get a job and a car and do all that i need to so that i can get into college.
I think i could relate to Ritik because he always has new ideas , i am also like that . i always have new ideas . But i don't think i couldn't make a website , it sounds like too much work & i'm very inpatience .
I think i could relate the Ritik , because he's always looking for new ideas . & so am i , i like doing new things . But i don't think i could have the patience to make a website , it sounds like it could be difficult.
i think i relate to jon koon the most because cars fascinate me and i love fashion. There is no way i would have the ambition to take such a ting on, im a very shy person. However i would like to get good grades and go to collage and be the first in my family to do so.
I don't think I personally could ever start my own buisness or take charge of something that brought in so much money. But, on the other hand it is possible for everyone if you believe you can. they all did what they loved and probably believed they could do it. All i have my heart set on is graduating with good grades getting into a nice school with an amazing medical science program. I want to make a difference in societies daily lives and help everyone i possibly can.

I believe that I am personally more like Ritik because I do like being creative on certain things and websites are one of them. I used to mess around with a website creating program but I usually got bored with but I got bored. But my ambition is a bit different than his. But a couple of my goals before finishing high school are having good grades and getting the help I need while doing that, And getting a nice paying job that I am good at.
Im the most like Jon Koon because he is very strong in his disitions. He never gave up and reached his goals and once he did, he didnt stop there he became very rich and famous and thats what i want to do.
I think it's great kids/teenagers are able to think about these things at such a young age, I mean I don't really relate to any of them. But, if it had to be one of these guys it would have to be Jon. It would because he got into the car/auto-parts business and if anything I would go for that because I know myself a lot of people use cars on a daily bases and stuff breaks and problems go wrong with cars, so it seems like it would get a lot of business.

I think its awesome that teenagers our age put their minds on their goals and worked hard to complete them. Its not everyday that a 16 year old is opening their own companies and making big bucks! I can see myself most relating to Ritik because I find it interesting making my own website. Plus I love being creative. My goals are not very big right now but they are, graduating high school with an honors diploma, going to medical, and hopefully having a successful career!
i can relate to conner zwick and i dont have that anbition
some of my goals are to graduate go to butler teck and pass the ogts in the next year
nathan smith
I think I relate to Jon the most because I am also Asian and I've probably been in some of the same struggles as him. But I don't think I could take on that challenge. My goal as of right now is to just get a job so I can have more options.
I think id relate the most to connor zwick because, if I were to invent something it would be laid out like his flashcard site. i definatley would't have had the ambition to do it while still in highschool though. my goals for now would be to get a job by the end of the school year, and go to a decent college once i graduate.
The person I can relate to the most is Connor Zwick. Education is what kids need and the fact that he concentrated on education is really inspiring. I don't think that I would have the ambition to do what Connor did. My goal before I graduate high school is to get a volleyball scholarship.
I can relate to Jon Koon the most because I am Into fashion just like he is. I honestly don't think I would be able to start my own buisness like he did because I'm only 16, but I think it's really cool that he was able to do that. Before high school is over I want to get a good job, keep my good grades and try to save up money for college.

I think I relate to Ritik malhotra the most. He made a website, gaming site. That, I want to do and I like it alot. I could have the ambition to do it because I know my family will help me and I trust in them. Before I end High school I want to have 1st chair clarinet in both band that I am, win as much scholarship as I can and get accepted to a good and nice college.
I relate to mitik the most. I really would love to design a website and a gaming site. I think it would be really awesome watching it all come together. I wouldn't have been able to accomplish this goal because I don't have the necessary knowledge to make the site. A goal id like to accomplish is doing good enough on the explorer test to enable me to get enough classes at Miami to finish my freshman year of college done.
Out of all the teen agers i could ptobably relate to Jon Koon the nost because of age, i Dont think i could ever have the Ambition they did bevause personally i think being a teenager and dealing with school is stressful enough. But before i graduate high school i plan on maintaining my good grades, graduating with honors and getting accepted into a good college.
I don't relate to any of these teenagers expect for Ray because he is coordinated. If I wanted to take on a large goal like Ray has at my age, it would have to depend on what the goal is and if it's worth the time and ambition. Before I leave high-school I would like to accomplish graduating with honors and AP classes, and keeping my GPA as high as possible.
I think I relate most to Jon Koon. He saw something that he thought needed to be changed so he took it upon himself to change it. I could see myself being like him and achieving a goal that i have a passion for. I have a goal to record a cd before I graduate this year and to one day be a singer traveling around the world.
I believe I related more to Ray Land that most because I absolutely love to travel, I hate being home. I would not have the ambition to do what he does though, because I don't like large groups of people and I hate teenagers. After high school I plan on maintaining a steady job and getting into college for nursing.
I would relate to Jon Koon the most because I once too wanted to make my own clothing. I like to try different styles of clothes and mix them together to see what the outcome is.
I think i would relate to Ray land the most simply because I'm a planner and i too like to meet new people I like to plan things out before they happen also I love to travel. I dont think I could have planned as many things as he did at such a young age . He was really focused and i commend him for his yard work.

I think I can relate to Conner zwick it is nice to have a job you're comfortable with and that is also flexible and I would like something like that
I think i can relate to ray land i love to plan trips when me and my family go on trips and to now what were doing and how we are going to get around
I think i can relate to jon koon because he study and learned about system of students and created a website to help
I think i would relate to Ritik Malhotra the most.He started at such a young age.He didn't give up on what he wanted to do/achieve.Each year he grew bigger and bigger.I can see myself as I grow into Adulthood Achieving my goal?(s).I plan to open up my own Hair and Nail Shop,In order to achieve your goal(s)you have to Persevere,that is what Ritik Malhotra did and that is what I will Do !(:
I think I can relate to to Connor the most because we're both disenchanted with the education system. I don't think I have the ambition to achieve what he has just yet, I still need to get a job and a car before I graduate.
I cant say i relate to any of these because i never thought of running my own business. They have also started at an early age with what they love and their amazing talents. Which is what helped them reach their goal of running their own business ans succeeding. I persinally want to become a vet because of my love and passion to help animals. I dont really know how i can make a business out of that to be honest.

Out of all of the teens I feel like I related to Jon Koon the most because I love fashion. I think that it is amazing that he started a business that is worth 80 million. I honestly do not think that I could achieve a huge a goal like he did at the age he did . Before I graduate some of my goals would be to get a job, get a car and save up money for college.
