If you ask any 12-year-old what their favorite time of the day is, they’ll tell you it’s lunch! But for Jason, it’s a bit different. He can’t wait to get home and start working on his candle-making business.
Jason began creating candles because the candles he bought gave his mom headaches. He was only eight years old at the time. He thought there must be a way to make a safe and all-natural candle. So, he set out to find a cleaner and more natural way to make a candle that his mom could enjoy. He was very interested in the process and the chemistry behind making the candles. Later, he found a kind of wax (蜡) that is chemical-free. He also found natural oils to add scent (香味).
With the support of his mom, he started an online store in 2020. His online orders began picking up. In the fall of 2022, he opened a store at a local shopping centre. Now people can buy his candles both online and at the store. The store also sells soaps which are made by Vicky, Jason’s little sister. She was inspired (鼓舞) by her brother to make her own handmade products.
Jason started his business to save money for his college education. But running a business is about more than making money for Jason. He also gave some money to the community. The community spent the money supporting the local homeless shelter (救助站) and helping the kids who needed a little help with college.
“My future goal is to help people around the world,” he says. His mother is proud of her son and loves to spend time with him as his business grows. She says it is really inspiring to see how his mind works.
Jason has a big goal and an even bigger heart. With all the problems that seem to stop many of us from moving forward, Jason has chosen to find a solution that works, not only for himself, but as an inspiration to others.
