World We Imagine Part 3

The Clean Ocean Corporation    

    Having lived in Orange County my whole life and within a close proximity to the beach, I have always somewhat taken the ocean for granted. Some of the fondest memories from my childhood are of walking down Balboa Island after a beach day, camping at San Onofre for the weekend, and even just going to the beach all summer with friends. The ocean, regardless of good times or bad times, has been there right beside me for as long as I can remember. But funny enough, it wasn't until I got to USC that I truly realized how much I missed at least seeing the water every day. It's a bit ironic that moving to Los Angeles made me notice this as there are many people who would say quite the opposite in that one of their main reasons for moving here are the Southern California beaches.

    My greater understanding of this reality, after meeting many people from all over the place while at USC, combined with my passion for the sea made me really appreciate my experiences on a new level. In thinking about the ocean a lot, I started to wonder how I could give back to the thing that has brought me so much joy in my life and then it dawned on me. I thought of my time in high school which was private and required each student to do community service hours that led me to my first of many beach clean-ups throughout my four years there. I found that I enjoyed these clean-ups much more than any other service activity I did and would sign up for them as often as I could. Taking inspiration from these clean-ups, the business I propose to make the world a better place is the Clean Ocean Corporation.

    At COC, our plan would be to empower people, especially younger generations, to respect the ocean and keep it clean for everyone to enjoy for years to come. We would initially do this through events like sponsored beach clean-ups starting in Orange County but expanding wherever else we can get people interested. In addition to beach clean-ups and things like natural wildlife planting, we want to have informational sessions for both kids and adults to learn about the ocean environment and the different ways we can help it. We would like to make these sessions entertaining and a lot more enticing by having them be small adventures in or by the sea such as going out on boats, traveling places like Catalina Island, or visiting distant beaches. By providing a wealth of knowledge in the subject, we hope to show people that the ocean is a marvelous place worthy of our care. 

    I believe you should invest in the Clean Ocean Corps because like everybody says the younger generation decides what happens next, and that is why they are the focus of our company. The idea behind this all is that, if we can persuade the next generation of people to truly care for the ocean as well as the environment in general and work to preserve it, then the world will be a much better place. In teaching these kids about how important the ocean is to all walks of life around the world and showing them a little fun while they learn, we hope to make a lasting impact that will transcend multiple generations as these kids grown into parents and pass their knowledge down.

Intro Hello, my name is Jack, and I am from Orange County, specifically Newport Beach, California. I am going to work in the sports business industry one day... hopefully. For now, though, I am going to the mountains and making the best of online classes. I plan to get into sports business through an internship this summer; a couple of the top companies I have had my eye on are Fox Sports and the Los Angeles Dodgers largely because my dad was a previous employee of Fox Sports, and I have been a Dodger fan my entire life. As for getting to the mountains, I have already made plans for going up to Mammoth this weekend.  I believe I am like my parents in many ways, but one of the most noticeable, in my opinion, is my passion for baseball. Both my parents have been fans of the sport for years and it certainly made a large impact on the lives of me and my two brothers. I believe I am unlike my parents through my non-stop style of life. While my parents do enjoy their fun, they are defini...

 The Super Bowl... and How I Got Paid to Watch it It all started when a link got sent into the group chat for a club I'm apart of here at USC called the Sports Business Association. The link was sent by the SBA president who told us it was a job opportunity to work the Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium. The job was not actually directly with the NFL but with a third party company called On Location that was hired by the NFL. I thought I might as well apply if there's a chance I'd get to be at the Super Bowl with the added bonus that I'd have something cool to put on my resume. There were a couple positions open so I applied for all of them and was lucky enough to get selected for their gameday "Teammate" position. This essentially meant my job was showing people where to go and taking them to different pre-game parties and events that On Location was in charge of operating. Once I got selected, the paperwork process was much more intense than I imagined for such a si...

 Bonsai Trees My introduction to these plants and some background about them The first time I remember really noticing a bonsai tree was when I was a child watching the original "Karate Kid." I was and still am a big fan of the film, but to my point, bonsai trees make several pretty noticeable cameos throughout the course of the movie. After seeing them there, I was somewhat intrigued by the plants but didn't really know much about them. I obviously knew that they were little trees in pots often kept inside but that was about the extent of my knowledge for many years. I would sometimes see them on social media and in other films but my interest was not truly peaked until I saw a particular post about a bonsai tree being one thousand years old. I looked further on social media jumping from account to account just going down the rabbit hole of Instagram's "for you" page, and next thing I knew I was hooked by these ancient, little plants. This happened about tw...
