Young entrepreneur gets some recognition and some help for college

"I can get one of anything I want for free," Gosling told his father when the mole kit arrived in a box on the front doorstep. "All I have to do is say I'm interested in selling it in my store."

In high school, Gosling served as president of the Pennsylvania branch of Future Business Leaders of America. His website also took second place in the national FBLA's E-Business competition.

After graduating from Cocalico High School with a 3.6 GPA, Gosling is eager to start at Drexel. To apply to his $48,000 annual tuition and room-and-board cost, he will receive $12,000 from the national association the first year and $4,000 each year after that if he meets academic standards.

As for his career aspirations, "I want one of these companies I started to take off and become a huge company, like Microsoft," he said. "That's my dream."

But does he see himself as the next Bill Gates?

"I don't like to think of myself as a geek," said Gosling, a motorcycle rider and former starting tackle for the varsity football team. "I like to talk of myself as a business professional."
