As a middle schooler, I was addicted – not to shopping, boys, or grades – but to a PC game called Minecraft. I guess it was the fact that anything was possible with this “Sand box” game that drew me in. You could build virtually anything, kill players and animals, and connect with others. As my love grew with this game, I decided to start a small server, ran off my laptop. On my server, I sold “donation ranks”, purchasable benefits & abilities, and marketed these ranks everywhere on a self-created website and on custom in-game Java plugins.

This is my first real experience in selling real products. I learned so much through coding the website, installing SSL security, hiring an attorney, getting liability insurance, opening a bank, calling manufacturers, finalizing logistics & branding, and more. These products are now used for Social Justice Club’s fundraisers. The are also candies available online, shipped across the US.
