(경제) 11세 소녀 CEO - 핑크 댄스 버스 학교
And meet a pint sized아주 작은 CEO whose business really keeps her on her toes. From CBS News world headquarters in New York, this is the CBS Evening News. We end tonight with a dance lesson. The steps will be familiar. But the teacher, she is something else. Here’s Russ Mitchell.
At a glance, this looks like a very ordinary dance class with a very extraordinary instructor. Meet 11-year-old Amiya Alexander, a sixth grader who is president and CEO of her very own company, Amiya’s mobile dance academy. “How many of your friends have business cards?” “Zero I think.” More than likely you’ve never met a dancer literally on the move quite like Amiya. Her dance studio, this bus… making stop all over Detroit.
So how does an 11-year-old get a bus all to herself? Well, when Amiya was nine, she had a dream she taught dance lessons on a pink school bus. She had to sketch to her mom and on Christmas day, 2008, Amiya’s mom got her that bus. It cost $5000 and another $6000 to transform. “I had never heard of a mobile dance studio. I thought that was a great idea.” “Every child deserves a chance to learn. There might be dancers that are really, really good. But I mean they can afford it. Or their parents can’t, like drive them or something and I just wanted to help them and make a way”
“This is the bus?” “Yes.” “Took all the seats out except for these?” “Yes.” “My favorite part about the bus is the inside. The ceiling right here. It’s just glare환한 빛. Because I would like to refer it as stars because I think of all of my students as rising stars.” Every Saturday the pink bus is parked in the same lot for class which cost $12 a lesson. As many as 15 students attend the each session and demand is growing. “As a family, we followed the bus wherever Amiya goes. I think she is a role model to my daughter.” “She is an inspiration to young children.”
So far Amiya’s business has earned more than $10,000. She even has financial advisors to help her save her hard earned cash for Harvard medical school. In the meantime, she is dancing for another cause. “One third of children in America are obese or overweight. And I want to get that down to zero. One way of doing that would be a dancing.” And for this middle school business woman with big dreams, it looks like Amiya has tacked into고정되다 something special. Russ Mitchell, CBSNews, Detroit.
