In December I found a self-defense class in April. It will take place at one of the schools. its geared for younger kids and then open to anyone. I will advertise for it closer to time to get people interested in it.
In our book "think and grow rich" by napoleon hill it talks about financial circumstances that may positively benefit you or hurt you. He has six steps to grow rich. first find the exact amount of money you desire. second find out how to make the money because there is no such thing as something for nothing. third set a date when you will have the money. fourth create a plan within reason. fifth write it out on paper and hold your self to it. Finally read this aloud twice a day to remind yourself of it and do it.

In capitalistic schools they are all private and communistic is all public. the other is mixed. In the one it is 16 as the drop out rate and the other you cant drop out of . public schools don't have uniforms and private do. in communism the career is chosen for you and you have very little say. the other ones you can choose.

raising the minimum wage to 20 dollars a hour is a bad idea. It hurts many unskilled workers who will be fired and have to find new jobs. like it say in this article "Unfortunately for the low-skilled workers (bussers and dish-washers), the most vulnerable workers, they all lost their jobs. And to kick them while they’re down, they are the ones who will have the hardest time finding new jobs since they have few skills, and the fact that they can’t legally make less that $20/hour makes it even harder still for them to find jobs." it wont even effect the these people if they still had there jobs because the price of living is rising so high. "Because if you raise the minimum wage to $20/hour, everybody who makes under $20/hour is at risk of losing his or her job!" http://www.aei.org/article/economics/fiscal-policy/labor/why-we-shouldnt-raise-the-minimum-wage http://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2013/02/20/why-shouldnt-we-increase-the-minimum-wage-to-20hour/ http://articles.southbendtribune.com/2013-03-17/news/37794347_1_minimum-wage-richard-burkhauser-higher-unemployment

in this game we had variables constants and perishables. the constants where the cups and the ice would melt everyday. the perishables where the lemons and the sugar. the variables where the weather and how many people came by the prices where also variables.
My cup of lemonade cost about 9 cents. It a little under but I rounded up to the next number.

In my 20% time project I am trying to make a self-defense class for the community. I would like to show the basics. it could impact the people that take the class and how the use it. I will judge the success by the number of people that participate in this class. I think my biggest challenge will be getting a facility to do this in. there are three steps im taking first I have to get the class and some one to help teach it. Then I need to find a place to do it. and last I have to get people interested in it. My goal for December is to have the class planed out and a facility to do it in.

when I walked in the room this time I was handed a stack of chips. there was a table that we sat down at and played blackjack. everyone had to play at least four hands. I played more then four and lost half of my money. it was ok I never got the cards I needed to win. I made small bets and never went all in. this kept me from losing every thing. most people had small bets and didn't win but there was some people who bet it all and won. it was fun and a good activity.
I bought apple as a trade. I am waiting for a day after the new ipad comes out to sell it. I hope it goes up sixty dollars. when it does i am going to sell. I have look at its history and it spikes every October. it spikes then because they release something new. they released there ipad and it went up so I sold it. I bought Chesapeake energy because it was a investment. it has a growth over time and has slowly risen in the last few years. I plan to make al least 200 dollars on it and get my money off the table.

The difference between trade and investment is the time frame. A trade is just a quick flip. a investment Is a long term put money in and let it grow. in a trade you wait for a event to spark it to spike then you sell. in a investment you look for growth over a long time and let you money grow

I walked in the room and there was candy and junk everywhere. The lights where out and it was very loud. there was a real stock exchange on the projector. every one was grabbing things and some already had lots. I grabbed lots of twizzlers and jolly ranchers. It was a mad dash for all the cash that was on the floor. It was a stock market but the stocks where candy. I started out with three twizzlers twenty dollars and a few jolly ranchers. Every two minutes there was a update which could be anything from the suckers just went up to the head of sweetarts is going bankrupt. There was clues all over the floor. I picked one up and after I looked at it I sold it for cash. there was many people that were trying to get more right off the bat. they would sell for more than there candy was worth in hope they would go up. this went on for the whole class until the market closed. after I closed some people had close to eight grand. I only had two but had started out with not as much. My growth was a lot more even though the end wasn't much.

Good Morning after high school i would like to become a physical trainer.This means that after high school i would have six to seven years of college. I want to work my way through college until i get my dream job. I would like to live where ever the job is. It would be nice to stay in wyoming. The average rent is around two thousand. If i were to get a new car it would be a truck and the price would be close to thirty five thosuand. i learned from my reasearch that in bigger cities its more expensive to live.
