Freeport, Bahamas \u2013 \u201cIn order to be successful in life, hard work is the name of the game.\u201d That\u2019s the advice offered by Bahamas Striping President Atario Mitchell to Grand Bahamian students before the start of the academic year. The young executive addressed students attending the \u201cDare To Be Different\u201d forum held at Workers House in Freeport, Grand Bahama.<\/p>\n
The event was designed to inspire and empower the youth to become productive citizens once they complete high school. Mr. Mitchell\u2014who lived in Freeport for about two years\u2014knows the challenges of succeeding professionally in the Bahamas\u2019 competitive business market. He explained to the students how valuable it is to obtain a quality education and how \u201cbeing different isn\u2019t bad.\u201d The Bahamas Striping president admonished the students that \u201cif you want to be successful, following the crowd isn\u2019t the best option.\u201d He also added that \u201cschool students are sometimes protected from the dangers in life. But once school is over that\u2019s really when the hard work begins.\u201d<\/p>\n
With nearly 275 students attending, Mitchell shared his experience in building his striping business from the ground to become one of the most successful small businesses in the Bahamas. Now he employs 13 young men, enabling them to acquire skills in a career that they never thought of venturing into. Mitchell\u2019s company has remained ahead of the pack for about two years now.<\/p>\n
Mitchell was among a cadre of dynamic community leaders speaking to the youth at the \u201cDare to be Different\u201d Back to School Workshop and Gospel Concert organized by Grand Bahama\u2019s Kingdom Encounter Ministries International. He partnered with other talent including Bahamian Gospel Artists Rumah, Kyle King, Da Element, The Chose 1, International R&B\/Gospel Star Curtis Jordan and TEMPO Television\u2019s \u201cRise and Shine\u201d Host, Jamie Thomas. TEMPO will produce several shows featuring the event, to be broadcast throughout the region. Mitchell was elated for the opportunity to help steer the Bahamian youths in the right direction.<\/p>\n
