Polling? There's An App for That

I found this article to be extremely interesting. I always find myself google-ing the newest apps and reading articles about things that well, appeal to my interests. This definitely did. Not to say that "polling" is necessarily my thing, but the story behind the app is what intrigued me. When I first started reading it I didn't realize that it was an FGCU article. As soon as I realized that these two young entrepreneurs were fellow FGCU students, I was amazed. Although the writer depicted what Seniors, Nick Moore and Anton Nicolla, went through in the creation of the app as fairly simple, it's obvious that there's a lot more to it. I also found it very interesting that both students aren't Business majors, that's very inspirational to me considering that I want to manage a business eventually but am not a Management major. It's a prime example of what my father has always told me, that you don't necessarily need to major in business to be a successful Businessman. Which is why I chose to study Forensic Psychology, something that to me is more intriguing. Even if I chose to not pursue in Forensic Psychology, I feel that after college, I will have the proper social skills needed to manage a business. As for the managing part, well... it is a family business, so I'll leave that part for my father to teach me! This article really makes for even more appreciation towards the rising success of Florida Gulf Coast University. I could not be happier to attend this school.

  1. I agree with you, Emily. The story caught my attention, not necessarily polling. I tend to google the newest apps, or go to the app store and search the top. I also agree that in the story they make the creation of the app seem to be very simple, when there is a lot more involved in the creation of an app. I found it interesting that they were students at FGCU. The power of the mind is crazy, and can be used to do some amazing things. The two students came up with the idea, after one was indecisive between a used shirt at a thrift shop.
