Nothing wrong with planning for your future and working toward a goal. That’s what Ryan Appel is doing. Vacuuming interiors and washing windows of vehicles at Lincoln Meadows this week, he also mows lawns in the summer. He’s planning on going to college and becoming a doctor.

Don’t discount his dreams, he’s only 10 years old, but he’s already going in the right direction.

The family has a farm and he does lots of chores there. Sister Abbie, 13, is also an entrepreneur; she babysits dogs.

Ryan doesn’t work all the time; he said when he is not busy, he spends his time hanging out with dad, playing on his I Pad and riding his quad.

Dad is Brian Appel, a local contractor and owner of Brian Appel Builders in Middleville, Mom Courtney handles the office work for the business.
