    Congratulations! $500 is definately enough Seed money to get you started, just be sure to continue to reinvest in your business!

    Just be sure to use that money very wisely. If the college asks what happened to the money, be sure to have a good answer.

    Congrats on the grant. Hopefully you will have some business classes at school to help you with that part of the project. Mike.

    Thats awesome congrats. I agree with everyone else too. Reinvest and keep paper work straight. Incase they ask you. It allways helps to be able to show them rather then just tell them. Best of luck to ya.
