Hello, my name is Darwin Mendioro.

I'm from San Francisco, California. I'm 18 years old and just graduated from high school. I'm going to City College of San Francisco, a small community college, and I'm majoring in film. My interest is defintely in the film field, but I also want to start my own business. Right now, I'm a film projectionist at a local theatre, but I realized something while my sixth month working there. I don't want to work for somebody for the rest of my life.

My dad owns a local video store that rents out DVDs and he does enough to get by. I want to start my own business, something small at first but I have no idea where to go. All I know is that I don't want to be working for someone else. I want to be my own man and I know that I have the ambitions to do it, I just need some directions.

Well, hopefully you guys can help me out!

Welcome Darwin! I'm new here myself. You will know soon enough what type of business you want to start. You need to be at least half/way passionate about it.
