Jonah Swann studies at Reed Middle School in the US. But after school, the 13-year-old boy works as the CEO of The Kandle Company, which makes candles. Swann's candles are different from most other candles on the market. They are made of soy wax(大豆蜡)and have non-zinc wicks(无锌蜡烛芯). This makes them burn cleanly.
When Swann was younger, he was interested in business. But business classes were not enough for him. He wanted to run a real business on his own. Luckily, he soon got the chance to do so. A family friend bought a machine that makes candles. Later, he gave the machine to Swann. Swann worked hard in making his own candles. He had to learn how to use the machine, find the right ingredients (原料)and find out how to sell his candles. He tried his best to make his candles look attractive(吸引人的).
For Swann, making money is not his goal. He plans to give away at least 10 percent of his money to his school. It will be used to support study programs. In fact, he has given some money to a business club at his school. It will start in September. The club will invite some speakers to share their business experience.
