 In the year 2012, there were multiple businesses started by students. Two happened to be born in the city of Boston, American Dream House, and Split My Taxi. And then I realized that I had a whole entire exhibition to myself and that I didn't want it to just be a gallery show. I wanted it to launch something bigger than that and then I think all the ideas kind of just came together at once and I needed to just start a brand. That's it. And I saw a great opportunity and a brilliant friend of mine and I was like, this is gold and no matter what happens I should take this especially at the age of 20 years old. From then on I just went full force and everything I could to show him that he needs me and the company needs me and that I would be a really good team player and that he would want me as a co-founder. While many think that starting a company while at school can lead to a lifetime career, student entrepreneurs at Boston University realize the importance of a degree and earning high marks while running a company can prove challenging. It was not easy at all especially with early classes because I was always working late nights on Dream House and it was hard because Dream House was such a priority for me that I was like, ugh, I don't want to like have to do homework and school. Both David Dinesh and Molly Rossner have applied what they learned in the classroom to real life. Rossner has been able to dedicate more time to American Dream House since graduating in May while Dinesh and his co-founders have put Split My Taxi on hiatus to focus on school.
