Twin turns loss into hope and entrepreneurship

The inspirations that can create and propel a YOUTHpreneur to success come from all over. From a personal drive to be successful to an older role model to turning a terrible loss into hope and success, YOUTHpreneurs are everywhere. Here is an excerpt from a great story from CBS News featuring 11-year-old Aaron Ware, who after losing his twin brother and suffering from depression, ignited his entrepreneurship with the help of his counselor, family and friends.

(CBS)  When 11-year-old Aaron Ware showed signs of depression a few months ago – his pediatrician prescribed something extremely unusual. After talking with the boy, Dr. Marilyn Corder came up with a treatment plan that was either pure genius or malpractice. CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman reported Corder’s prescription was, basically, make a batch of cookies – and call her in the morning. “And that’s exactly what I did,” Aaron said. “I baked some cookies and I brought them back to her office to see how she liked them.”As Corder put it, “the rest is history.”
