Name: Jason O Neill.
Age: 13
Location: Temecula, California
Business: The founder of pencil Bugs.

Pencil Bugs is created by Jason O Neill. This idea came from the tender age of 9 through a craft fair with his mother. At his young and tender age, he was observant about life most especially academically. He was already thinking of how to make education fun. This idea created pencil bugs.

Jason was based on a good foundation via the talks his father gave him. This wasn’t the normal “father to son” talk, it was the business discussion. This encouraged Jason to go further with his business – online. He is also a living proof for receiving free media coverage – which is rare to obtain within the business world.

Mr Neill has big dreams for the future of his business; he is in the process of creating a board game and writing a book. Also, planning toys for younger children to enjoy and many more ideas are kept in stock.

Do not be fooled by the age of this youngster. Age isn’t stopping him; his dream is driving him to the future. It’s never too early to be an entrepreneur.

Usain Bolt is a Jamaican sprinter

Born 21 August 1986 in Sherwood Content, a small town in Trelawny, Jamaica, and grew up with his parents, Jennifer and Wellesley Bolt, his brother Sadeeki, and his sister Sherine.

His parents ran the local grocery store in the rural area, and Bolt spent his time playing cricket and football in the street with his brother,later saying, “When I was young, I didn’t really think about anything other than sports”.

As a child, he attended Waldensia Primary and All-age School, and it was here that he first began to show his sprinting potential, running in the annual national primary-schools’ meeting for his parish.By the age of twelve, Bolt had become the school’s fastest runner over the 100 metres distance.

Nickname: Lightening Bolt

Bolt holds the world records for the 100 metres at 9.58 seconds, the 200 metres at 19.30 seconds and, along with his teammates, the 4×100 metres relay at 37.10 seconds.

Bolt holds the Olympic record in the 100 meters at 9.69 seconds. Bolt also became the first man to win all three events at a single Olympics since Carl Lewis in 1984, and the first man in history to set world records in all three at a single Olympics. Bolt made himself known by winning the 200 m gold medal at the 2002 World Junior Championships, making him the competition’s youngest-ever gold medalist.

In 2004, at the CARIFTA Games, Bolt became the first junior sprinter to run the 200 m in under 20 seconds with a time of 19.93 s, breaking Roy Martin’s world junior record by two-tenths of a second. Bolt also set competition records at a number of other junior events.

Bolt turned professional in 2004 but missed most of his first two seasons due to injuries; he was eliminated in the first round of the 200 m heats at the 2004 Summer Olympics. In 2007, Bolt beat Don Quarrie’s 200 m Jamaican national record with a run of 19.75 s. In May 2008, Bolt set his first 100 m world record with a time of 9.72 s, Bolt improved the 100m world record to 9.58 seconds to win his first World Championship gold medal in what was the largest ever margin of improvement in the 100 m world record since the beginning of electronic timing.

He was named the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year for 2009.

Bolt also loves dancing, regarded as a laid back person .He is currently dating Mizicann Evans: they both met and became friends at a track meet aged 13, and became a couple in 2004.
