Jared Burns <p>During our freshman year of high school, our English teacher Ms. Douglas, told us she was planning a class trip to Italy. We were very excited about the possibility of going. Our parents liked the idea but told us that we’d have to find a way to pay for half the trip ourselves. We were too young to get jobs so we decided to start our own business. But what exactly? Brandon makes a tasty toffee and I just happen to love candy. Let’s start a candy company! Within a couple months we paid off our trips in full, plus spending money, and in the spring of 2007 we went to Assisi, Florence, Pisa and Rome.</p> <p>Now we’re saving for college. Brandon and I are unsure as to where we would like to go to school but we do know that we want to further our education. While we’re away, our younger sisters will take over our jobs and they can make money for college. It’s the perfect plan!</p> <p>Brandon and I met in preschool and have been best friends ever since.</p> <p><br> <strong>Italy 2007</strong></p> <p><img
