I have a space picked out.

I know what i’m selling

I know what events i’m going to have

I know how much everything is going to cost

BUT

Considering my age i don’t think anyone is going to take me seriously.

I was wondering, if the best way to start is to take out a personal loan or should i try for a small business loan?
I have people who are willing to work with me to open this place.
But i need to know what way is it better for me to go.

Yes, I know i’m young. I know it cost a lot. I also know, i should be waiting a few years.
But i want to work and open the store.
I just feel that it is easier for me to do this.

so any advise i would gladly appreciate it thank you.

My relaxing sleep to the sound of rain was interrupted by water splashing in my face and the realization that I now lied in a soaking wet mattress. Our RV had once again fallen victim to the damage of another thunderstorm, and my top bunk had received the worst damage. As I watched my tired father, half-awake, hastily trying to fix the hopeless ruins of the storm, I thought about my old bed in our old house in Arkansas which we had left behind to come live in the city, in hopes of a better life. I looked over at my mother’s weary face and had never felt so sure of anything: I was going to college.

School had never been a problem for me. As a child, I showed early signs of interest in education. In elementary, I was reading at an advanced level and knew I liked school. From memorizing my division tables to perfecting my cursive, I did everything I could to get my school’s attention and fortunately did. In third grade, I was selected for the gifted and talented program and the school’s academic competitive team. I placed in several spelling bees and received many awards for my scholastic efforts. In sixth grade, I received the Presidential Award of Education and was recognized as a distinguished achievement student. My hopes of attending college and pursuing a career flourished and I marveled at the thought of becoming a successful graduate.

The only thing that stood in the way of my plans was my family’s economic conditions. We have always been financially unstable and I soon learned that paying for college would not be as simple as I thought. When I was still in fourth grade my father was injured at work leaving my mother to take care of our family. She somehow managed to balance four full time jobs and take care of me and my two brothers. On top of everything, my mother was doing an inspirational thing: going back to college. Through backbreaking work and amazing perseverance, my mother proved to us that we could still progress despite our financial issues. Whether it be through loans or scholarships, our opportunities were endless. Once my father recovered, he sought to find work in the Houston area, as employment was low in our small hometown. His migration to the city shone a new light on my parents to move us out of that town and find a place with better education opportunities.
The transaction from the remote country life to the urban city life was the hardest thing I have ever experienced. We lived in very poor conditions and I had to share a bed with two teenage brothers and a number of pesticides. But that did not discourage me from my dream of going to college; it motivated me even more. Upon entering high school, I decided to graduate in the distinguished achievement program. I explored all the areas of study and became interested in the world of forensic sciences. I have been taking advanced placement courses and joined numerous clubs and organizations to continue being a recognized student. This has not been at all easy, the constant stress and the sacrifices I’ve made for my education have not always been fun but I am determined to go to college.

Receiving this scholarship could truly help me in my quest to receive post secondary education. Because I cannot contribute to society financially, my studying forensics would allow me to make a difference in other ways such as helping solve criminal cases and prevent others from alcohol or toxic damages. Receiving a good education would open many doors for me and it would mean that all of the sacrifices by my parents and myself have not been in vain.
