8a- Solving The Problem


My opportunity belief is that there is limited parking on campus and around Gainesville and it is negatively affecting those who have their cars at school. The solution I have for this problem is a parking garage on campus that is 7 stories high that allows students who own scooters and cars to park for free. The first couple of floors could be used for daily parking and the top floors could be used for year-round parking. I believe this could help many students financially because they are already paying so much for college and having to pay extra for parking could be a setback. If there was free parking on campus a lot of students wouldn't have to go through the hassle of paying excessive amounts to rarely use their car.  In addition, I think that the TAPS system needs to be looked at and fixed because it's extremely unfair what they are doing.

    Hey Natalie!
    I love your opportunity because I completely agree that there is so little parking on campus, AND it's expensive. I live off-campus and don't even bother with paying for parking. I just park in a lot closest to a bus stop and take the bus back and forth. However, this does affect when I need to park on campus for exams. UF should put another tall parking garage somewhere on campus as you suggested, however it wouldn't be free. The money they get from parking pays for the construction and labor, and any other transportation expenses on their behalf.

    Natalie,
    I completely agree with your post. A free parking garage would provide an adequate amount of parking spaces for on-campus use. This would allow many students drive to campus. I also agree with your comment on TAPS. TAPS should review a pending ticket before booting a scooter. A free parking garage would provide an alternative to using TAPS associated areas. Overall, this opportunity would solve many problems that students face.

Your Entrepreneurship Story Hii my name is Natalie Belluccia and I am interested in entreperneurship I think that I have the creativity and motivation to have what it takes to be sucesssful. Im excited to see what this class has to offer and teach me. The one time of my life that stood out to me the most was when I was in high school and just started to get into 3D printing and robotics.  This experience was unique considering I built my own  3D printer from scratch with the help of my brother. After I had a intact printer I started testing things and playing around and I came up with the idea that I could sell the gadgets I printed. So I proposed this idea to the principle of my high school that during my lunch break I would sell 3D printed custom designed phone cases. People in my high school loved it and I was selling them like crazy! I enrolled in this class because I think that I have a future in entruepershup. I've always had the motivation and drive to pursue my...

13A – Reading Reflection No. 1

“Elon Musk” by Ashlee Vance What surprised me the most was the fact that he was that intelligent to create such a helpful product, he knew what the future needed in order to maintain a sufficient lifestyle.  His vivid imagination and extreme commitment allowed his dreams to come to life. I admire the fact that Musk was extremely committed to his ideas and made his dreams come to life. From an early age, even as a student Musk knew that he wanted to solve humanity's dependence on oil and create a safer environment for the future. He never gave up with dream and was committed to go broke while trying. He faced many dilemmas and problems that slowed him down but in the end he kept pushing forward which allowed him to be as successful he is today helping our environment and the future. I least admire that he was a big talker and promised things before he can make them happen. He would make promises and then takes years to come up with a solution. I think that a part of succe...
