Young Candle

It all started with Hart Main a 14 year old that sent himself out to prove his sister wrong he teased his sister about the girly scented candles,and he would change it and say but she thought he wasn't going to do anything. So for start he put his own $100 to start off and his parents gave him $200 but only under one condition was he to pay them back by money earned through the candle business. He now was a variety of scented candles like Sawdust, Coffee, Fresh Cut Grass, Campfire, Bacon, Grandpa's Pipe, New Mitt, New York Style Pizza and Dirt. The cost of one scented candle is $9.50 and if you order more than 20 you get a discount.  Most stressful thing about being a dragon:trying to blow out your candles on your birthday cake.  

13-year-old businessman

    Hi. I want to talk about a 13-year-old businessman, Main. In 2010, when he was 13-year-old, he established a candle company to sell the fragrance of "manly".

    His business started from a small talk with his sister: she was selling candles girly scent for the fundraising activities of the school, and he got the idea that "Manly fragrance" should be cool at that time. His produced “Manly fragrance” was grass, bacon, sawdust, leather, and so on. He named them ManCans. Then, he began ManCans business in order to get a new $1,200 new bike for triathlon. Actually he got it within a few months!

    Why did you choose him? I thought he is a rare entrepreneur who began selling new scent candles. Do you want ManCans?

What...Did You Say A "Man Candle"?

Did you ever hear of a man candle till now? So right now you are  probably thinking that I’m insane. But luckily I’m not,  man candles do exist. Who came up with this idea you may ask well here it is Mr. Main, or Hart Main to be exact. This 14 year old came up with this astounding idea of ManCans. This all happened in Maysville, his younger sister was making some candles, with some “girly” scents like cupcakes, vanilla, and etc. So right at that moment ManCans was born. The scents are so wacko with the following... grass, wood, leaves and so much more! Each of candle that you purchase is made out of a soup can, and that soap is donated to those that are in need. This idea  started out as a joke but then he thought that this would be a great idea for a product. In fact this is such a great idea that he brought then to a few local stores, with also 60 of them across the country. Who will be the next person to invent something unimaginable will it be YOU?

10 year old owns his own business, Mr. Cory's Cookies

0. You may think that a ten year old is too young to own a business, but Cory Nieves proved you wrong. Cory Nieves is a 5th grader that sells cookies for a dollar. This thriving business started off as selling hot chocolate because he didn’t want to take the bus anymore, so he wanted to purchase his mom a car. After a little bit of time he added cookies, and lemonade to the menu. Cory got $100 a day from selling only those 3 items. Someone was being mean to him and called the health department to shut the small business down. Thankfully the health department helped Cory incorporate the business legally. If the health department didn’t help him to make it legal he probably wouldn’t be where he is now in his business. Later this young business man was on Ellen DeGeneres show, and Ellen gave Cory and his mom $10,000 and a new car. That was really nice of Ellen! Now Cory is the CEO of Mr. Cory’s cookies, which is an all natural bakery in Englewood New Jersey. Cory goes around and sells cookies to boutiques, barber shops, car dealerships, farmers markets, community events for $1. Mr. Todd’s Pie Company is a big help to his business. He lets Cory use his commercial kitchen and Mr. Todd sells Cory’s cookies for him too. During the summer he works full time, but of course he has to take time off the be a normal kid. Outside of his business he likes to take art and karate classes. During the school year he is only limited to work on Saturdays, and after school if they really need him. He went through a lot to get this business. You may think kids are too young to own a business, but think again. Have you ever wanted to own a business like Cory?

Lego is one of the most popular toys in the world, millions kids like to play it, so am I.There are many Lego show and game in the world every year, there are also some new Lego come out.But why it is so famous? What’s the history of Lego?

The Lego toys are so famous is because it’s not so hard to start, and not so easy to end, Lego toys are always in many small pieces, so that means you don’t have to combine them together like what the book tells you, you can combine them together whatever you want, like you can use some Lego bricks to build a tower, and also use the same bricks to build a bridge, so that can make people be interesting in these toys, these toys also can make kids smarter, so there are more parents will buy Lego for their kids, that makes Lego toys so famous.

The man who invented the Lego is named Ole Kirk Christiansen, he was born in Danish. He started make toys at workshop in 1934, and then he named his toys “Lego”, and these kind of toys soon became popular, and his company became bigger and bigger too, and this company soon made Lego shows, Lego movie, Lego T-shirt and so on. That’s the history of Lego.
