(100 words or fewer) Essay 1 - Part A I was like a sinking ship, with no chance to develop the ocean. Four years ago, I started a clothing trading company named DREAMIX with a close friend who majored in art design. He had a dream of becoming fashion designer and I majored in international business with hopes of establishing an international trading company. The name of the company, DREAMIX, symbolized a mixture of our ambitions and dreams for the success of a company that we spent many hours in university planning. Our plan of action was simple; we researched laws required to build a company in Taiwan, talked to several professors, and asked entrepreneurs who had worked in similar areas for advice. Both my partner and I had successful careers in the army and felt fully capable and confident that our success could be achieved through DREAMIX. We were enthusiastic about building our own brand, “Welcome A Board”, as I had been a sponsored skateboarder and had been successful in helping to lead our college skateboarding team. Soon after discussing our plans of making clothes with a friend, we realized we didn’t have the budget to launch a successful marketing strategy...

...Edgerton opened their first BURGER KING® restaurant in Miami, Florida. These visionaries had extensive experience in restaurant business and a shared belief in the guiding principle of offering reasonably priced quality food, served quickly, in attractive, clean surroundings. Our Vision today honors their original vision. When America was introduced to the signature flavor of the Original WHOPPER® Sandwich in 1957, it was selling for only 37 cents. It was an instant sensation and immediately became our flagship product. Today the WHOPPER® is world renowned for its flame-grilled taste and the many ways customers can order it to their liking. The great success of the early restaurants made the BURGER KING® concept a franchise success. The concept spread rapidly throughout the 1960s and in 1963 the first international franchise restaurant opened in Puerto Rico. While the vision for the BURGER KING® brand hasn't changed over time, our restaurants have. The early BURGER KING® restaurants distinguished themselves from others by their self-serve ordering and outdoor patio seating. Burger King Corporation pioneered dining rooms in the fast food industry when it began to enclose its patio seating in 1957.

...audience opinion on the world food bank but fails to do so. Hardin uses metaphors such as a lifeboat and a spaceship to represent the U.S. and planet earth. A lifeboat can only hold so many people and before it exceeds the capacity and a spaceship does not exclude anyone but limits the resources for everybody. In the lifeboat are many of the rich nations such as the U.S. and the United Nations and outside in the water are many of the poor countries like Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Pakistan. Since the U.S. is considered one of the rich nations they are considered the rich passengers among the boat which will be able to stay, the poorer countries will remain outside and only allowed if there is any room in the lifeboat. If the boat has enough space for fifty passengers then only fifty passengers will be allowed but if our “conscience stricken” side comes out then we possibly may allow more passengers. Suppose we allow ten more passengers we have now lost the safety factor on the lifeboat just as if we allow the country to overpopulate then we can lose the safety factor that we have within our nation. This is relating to how the United States is involved in the World Food Bank by being one of the richest nations in the world we provide to the food bank giving emergency resources but we might possibly lose our resources and lose our safety just like the passengers on the boat who have offered more space on the lifeboat who have lost their safety...
