Background
My name is Joe Garrido, and I was born in Littleton, Colorado on May 12th 1993. Very soon after my birth my family moved from the Denver area to a suburb just north of Philadelphia. For the first half of my childhood I lived in Schwenksville, PA. As I grew, I made friends and began to settle into my position school. Then out of nowhere my parents decided to move to Harleysville, PA forcing me to switch school districts after 5th grade. After successfully completing my academic career at Souderton Area High School I graduated in June 2011. After college I applied to a couple of schools and my choices came down to two options both in the Philadelphia area; of course I chose Temple University. When I first came to Temple I had planned on studying Computer Science and took a couple classes (CIS 1048 &1068) before I realized I did not want to do that type of work for the rest of my life. That’s when I chose to switch the Fox School of Business and become an Entrepreneurship major. I had always dreamed of opening numerous types of businesses and this was my chance to make my dream come true. I am extremely pleased with my choice of Temple University and couldn’t see myself at any other university.
