Student entrepreneur succeeds
by: Andrew Law - Academics Editor

Apollo has many different types of students. Some are leaders and some simply go with the flow. Senior Jeremy Midkiff has already started his own business and is taking charge.
Jeremy runs his very own landscaping business. Its called "Clean Cuts", a new name as of this year. The business has been underway for three years now and is still going strong.
Of course most of his business comes with the summer months, Jeremy takes care of many things in the off season. During the winter months he does everything from raking eaves to clearing fence rows, he does it all! The summer months include landscaping, mowing, and any other odd jobs you might have for him. Last summer he had close to thirty yards!

He doesn't credit only himself for the success of his business. There are other Apollo students who help the Clean Cuts business. Luke Brigance, Steven Padgent, Andrew Osborne, and Matt Baker have all helped out with the business.
Jeremy doesn't just run out and blow all of his hard earned cash, he re-invests it back in to his business. He already owns a tractor, lawn mower, multiple weedeaters and leaf blowers.

Jeremy says that there are many benefits to owning your own business. He always has a constant income coming in, but the biggest benefit to owning the business is the sense of pride he gets from every hard days work he puts in to it.
It's because of students like Jeremy that make Apollo stand out and shine. Only at Apollo could there be such outstanding students, already taking charge and working toward there goals. Use people like Jeremy as an inspiration to always aim high.
