Simbarashe M., 19
Montezuma, New Mexico/Zimbabwe
Young World Enterprise

"I was able to rise above my dramatic change in circumstances with hard work and motivation - important qualities for any entrepreneur."

Simbarashe's business identifies talented young artists at his school - many of them from developing countries in Africa - and supplies them with the materials needed to create their art. He then sells the art for a profit. Simbarashe plans to attend the University of Chicago after he graduates.
