Session 4


I’ve been working as a LEGO spot checker on an assembly line.  There is sculpting involved, but not quite what I imagined.  A machine sculpts the LEGO, and then I watch all the pieces go down a conveyor belt, and doing continuous spot checks to make sure the pieces are up to standard. 

I’ve been working here for two years now, living in my parent’s house saving my modest salary to start up my own business.  I am starting up a neighbourhood sculpting workshop.  I will be doing small jobs upon request, but my main focus will be teaching other people how to sculpt.  If I had not done the volunteering in university, I would never have thought of doing this.

I was able to secure a loan to start my business.  This, plus the money I had saved up for the past two years made me able to turn a profit within 10 months.  The average time it takes for a small business to turn a profit is 1 year, so I seem to be on the right track.  Who knows what lays in store for me in the future?
