17-year-old Brennan Agranoff，a colorblind boy，started his custom sock business in middle school，withnall loan （貸款）he got from his Parents. Up till now，he has sold over 1 million worth of socks online in the last four years

Business was slow the first year， but then Brennan started pushing his Hoopswagg products heavily onthe Internet. Orders soon started coming in in large numbers， and Hoopswagg became a popular brancag custom sock lovers. Right now， his designs can be found on Hoopswagg website， Amazon and ebaamo four years after starting his business， Brennan has achieved great success while balancing（平衡） schoolhouse chores and his social life.

Human’s Greatest Achievements

The Earth is 4.5 billion years old, but the human race has lived on it for just 200,000 years. In that short time, we have achieved some amazing things.

1. The list is almost endless. The invention of the airplane has changed our lives. The discovery of antibiotics(抗生素) has saved the lives of millions of people.

In the last 50 years, there have been great achievements in communication, such as radio, TV, computers, the Internet, and smartphones. 2.

What about arts? The arts have brought pleasure to many people, but are the Beatles and Bach more important than antibiotics? 3.

Finally, we must not forget humans’ early achievements. 4. We can’t imagine modern life without cooked food and cars.
