Chances are lightbulbs don’t pop up in daily conversation, but lighting is a huge part of your day. In your home, office and while shopping, you are surrounded by artificial light.

Why should you give lighting a second glance? The answer lies in LED’s impact on how you see and save.

I started the Young Entrepreneurs Academy, or YEA!, last fall at Marymount University. I joined YEA! because starting from a young age, I have always been interested in starting a business, creating jobs, and making money. My father searched for programs to meet my interests, but he could never find one. One night after some researching, he found the Young Entrepreneurs Academy, a national program that provides entrepreneurial training to middle and high school students. Luckily, there was an opportunity near our home at the Arlington Chamber Commerce. I applied immediately and enrolled into the YEA! Class of 2016.
