Lowey Bundy Sichol then asked us what we want to be when we grow up. Kids raised their hands and many were called on. Most kids said that they wanted to be things like bakers, artists, athletes, singers, vets, teachers, and musicians. She told us 19% of people will be entrepreneurs, and roughly 1/5 of the kids in the room would be an entrepreneur. We learned that an entrepreneur is a person who has an idea and turns it into a business.
Then, she told us about the process of how she makes her books. ¨First, I start by researching websites I trust, and I start to write after two to three months, after I have become an expert.¨ she explained. ¨It takes about two years from the start to finish of making the book and when it gets published, yet I only spend about six months writing. The rest is revising, editing, and getting it published.”
All the fourth grade students listened, and were very interested in her teachings. ¨Has anybody ever heard of the show, Shark Tank?” Sichol asked. Many fourth graders replied with the answer, ¨Yes!” and there was a lot of commotion. After the sound of the yelling fourth graders died down, she then remarked, ¨Here is a video of the Scrub Daddy being reviewed in Shark Tank.¨ She told us that Scrub Daddy was the most successful product to come out of Shark Tank. She told us a story of how she had emailed the founder of Scrub Daddy not expecting to hear from him. But he actually contacted her and offered to give her Scrub Mommies to give to teachers at the schools that she visited if she talked about the Scrub Daddy products. The teachers were very pleased.
