Financial literacy can pay off!


The subjects that could have been taught in a more relevant way would be math. Math should have been taught in more of a financial way. Business Information Management has been the most useful subject to me because you learn how to make documents of everything. you get to learn and get the feel of how the business world will be like. My ability to manage money and finances are no where near close for me to manage my  money and finances on my own. I would feel better about my financial future if I was taught financial literacy in school. I would be more comfortable about leaving for college knowing I could manage my own finances.

What teachers want parents to know





Teachers need parents to know and understand that their children need to not only be learning at school but also at home. Parents should make their children sit down for 30 min to an hour and just worry about homework. Teachers also need parents to understand that their children need to go to sleep at an resonable time. Children do not need to be staying awake at all hours of the night it is hard for them to learn at school. Parents need to  be partners with their children and be willing to help they do not need to be prosecutors. Students do need to be disciplined but in the right way.

The Rules


I think that Ron Clark put so much importance on rule #1, because if you dont have family then in reality you dont really have anything. Family is someone you can lean on when your having a hard time but also someone you can have a good time with. Family will always love you unconditionaly unlike friends.



#1 Be respectful
#2 Always be willing to help eachother
#3 Dont abuse the use of technology
#4 Get work in on time
#5 Be mindful of others

The High Cost of Education





The high cost of education in the 20th century is outrageous. Most people feel like they will be in debt for the rest of their lives just to get a college education. I plan on using fafsa as a way to pay for most of my college, but for the part that fafsa does not pay for I will use my different ways like my parents will pay some, my grandparents and also scholarships that I have been applying for.  I do not think I have done enough to pay for college because there is always more you could do. I have applied for fafsa but have not yet got the amount of money I can receive back.

What is creativity?



Creativity is the way the mind sees things and then puts it to use.
Creativity matters in education because in education you have to have special ways of getting the mind to focus and having more creative ways of teaching will get the students to focus more and have fun in the class room.
There are many ways of creativity in my site school class room. My teacher has each student their own water bottle so they don't have to go out and get a drink every time they are thirsty, we also write each of our spelling words on a little piece of paper, then put them in order and punch a hole in the side and put them on a string and make a neckless out of them! My students loved the new idea and the ones that never use to want to do their ABC order now do it with no problem!

Hire me, please!

  1. My strengths would be having my resume done and communicating with the person interviewing me well. I can easily hold a conversation with someone, because I am a friendly person and like to meet new people. My weaknesses is getting comfortable and being able to talk, because I am also a very shy person.
  2. I can over come my weakness by being more confident in myself and what I do in life. 
  3. I have applied for a job and I got the job, because I was very nice and friendly which mean I would be able to help costumers in a friendly way.
