Productive Spring Break
2005 spring break is oustanding and not because I am going to a party every day or going on a cruise getaway but because I am actually applying my college education in the real world.
But before I describe my spring break, check out the camping trip that I had attended with my church brothers and the video I had post-produced afterwards:

I look forward to more fellowships like the brother’s night out camping trip. The meals that we prepared, the tent setup, making smores, playing in the beach, all good memories and fun.
Spring Break Plan #1: Compose an actual business plan to provide to Uniti bank for a business loan
Thank goodness for the Cerritos library because the library had numerous books on ’small business’ and ‘guide to writing a business plan.’ My younger brother will be opening up his very own small business, thanks to my father (venture capitalist and experienced small business owner), my younger brother will start his operation by May 2005. Actually, the whole idea was my fathers and Jacob was available to do the job. I’m sure that he will do great. Best of all, most of the revenue will go into his pocket, and hopefully reinvested into the business. I’ll be there to guide him and provide advice here and there.
My father is applying for a business loan. He had several business relations with the bank for business reasons. Well, he was surprised when he was asked to provide a business plan for his new venture. He wasn’t too sure why he was asked to provide a business plan in the first place.
Well, more than 90% of the banks expect a business plan from the entrepreneur before the bank can loan the capital. To make this post short, I need to compose the full business plan and the projection plan by this Monday, March 28th. I borrowed at least eight books to keep me busy during this week and complete the business plan.
Spring Break Plan #2: Research and prepare for the upcoming civil lawsuit
My father and I filed a civil lawsuit against a party for not paying a certain amount. No details will be provided in this post. This will be my first lawsuit that I will partake and to be honest, it is stressful and exciting at the same time.
The stressful part is that I need to do a lot of reading and research in order to fully prepare for the court. My father decided not to hire an attorney and that him and I should take this case into our own hands. Uh-oh. Thank goodness for Nolo books! Nolo legal guidance has been extremely helpful and the best resource available.
The exciting part is that I will be approaching the lawsuit as a pro per and I can imagine the victory at the end of the lawsuit. Not only are we going to save the attorney’s fees, I am building relevant experience that should accomodate in my career. I love my major and my college education (thank you Lord!).
The court date is nearing very quick and I should be well prepared before the first week of spring quarter.
