Elzey also raves about Miami's entrepreneurship program.

"My classes have definitely helped," Elzey said. "The business principles that I learn in the classroom are a plus to my business every day."

Elzey said she consults her professors with questions and they help guide business decisions.

At the end of the day, these students enjoy the work that makes all their sacrifices and efforts well worth it.

"I love what I do so much," Probst said.

After graduation, Probst plans to find a better location and turn Blooms and Berries into a year-round market that will specialize in fresh and tasty produce.

Mills said Pocket Promotions has been growing fast and many sororities and fraternities have found it a useful way to communicate to their members.

Elzey said she would love to continue the purse business after graduation, making it a full-time position. Nonetheless, she plans to maintain Kee Keepakes in her life whether it remains a full- or part-time job, or just a hobby.
