Dear Pam Levy,
\n My name is Jason Rue and I would like to tell you about myself,
\n and how I started Roo’s Hand-Made Pens and Pencils.
\n I am fourteen years old and live in Orange Park, Florida.
\n I am a Freshman at Clay County High School where I am a member
\n of the National Junior Honor Society, am enrolled in honors
\n classes, and on the Clay High Junior Varsity football team.
\n I enjoy fishing, playing golf, and working with my pen business.
\n Last May I was looking through a stack of magazines and came
\n across your Penn State Industries catalog. My Dad and I talked
\n for the next few weeks about starting a business, did a little
\n research, and agreed this sounded like a good idea to create
\n a business. Besides, it sounded like a lot of fun and it has
\n turned out to be just that.
\n We called in and ordered a Carba-Tec4 Mini Lathe and everything
\n necessary to get started. The videos were very helpful in
\n figuring out how to get started. At that point, we just jumped
\n in. After a few weeks, I was turning out pens that were so
\n great looking they surprised everyone. One thing led to another
\n and my business was off the ground. After four months, I have
\n made about 60 pens and sold 46 of them. I have paid off my
\n initial investment and am actually making money. It’s
\n great because I can make pens at my own pace and make my own
\n hours. I am also learning how to run a small business. I am
\n really enjoying making pens and want to get started learning
\n how to do other projects like turning bowls. I would truly
\n recommend this as a hobby or a business to anyone.
\n Sincerely,<\/p>\n


\n Jason Rue<\/p>\n<\/td>\n
