After learning about social entrepreneurship, I was interested in what companies I was familiar with were social enterprises. As I did my research, I was surprised to find out the number of entrepreneurs who were really motivated to doing something that was not focused on making money – such as making a change in their community.

Out of all the social enterprises, Toms, my favourite shoes brand, sticked out to me. Toms’s one-for-one movement, for every purchase made, gives a pair of new shoes to a child in need. Because I had thought that “social” entrepreneurs could never be so successful, when I read the article “America’s Most Promising Social Entrepreneurs,” I was really amazed by the Toms CEO Mr. Mycoskie‘s entrepreneurship that had made the business such a huge success.

The story of Mr. Mycoskie and his passion for his business did not only surprise me but also motivated me to take part in such positive changes. I started considering social entrepreneur as my future career, and also strongly believe that it would bring me more satisfaction than would any other career, because making a change is much beyond simple business-running and money-making.
