What do I wish to get out of this class? I simply want to gain a better understanding of the art industry. 

I actually come from a family who works within the arts, which is what initially inspired my interest in the field. As a kid, I spent my time drawing and painting. But now, with some technical skills in store and plenty of unused art history knowledge (with a college degree currently in the making), I feel it is about time I learned to put my interest in art to better use. This is especially the case considering I've had a few remotely art related business ideas in mind for a while, but never known what the best starting point was. 

My professor said that a good entrepreneur should tick curiosity and tenacity of their personal traits list.

I’m not only a journalism major, but I’m a journalism student who truly loves the field, which I think requires a natural curiosity for the world around you. I’d like to think that I have tenacity as well. Then again, I suppose most people would claim the same.
