Loans

Loan, a photo by Philip Taylor PT on Flickr.

In my 21st Century Class we watched a video on borrowing money. It talked about if you spend more than you have you can fall into debt. If you have major debt the bank won't let you take out loans and it will be hard to pay for a home or a car. A lot of young teens fall into debt because they don't think before they spend.

Picture it!

If its not your picture and you want to use it you have to give credit to photographer. If you don't give credit to a photographer if you use their photo it's like stealing because some photographers are paid to take those photos.

Last week my eighth grade class went to ELC; ELC stands for Environmental Learning Center.  It's a camp that teaches you about nature and how to preserve it.  We had a lot of classes some of my favorites were the Ropes Course, Rock Climbing, Stream Study, and Beavers.  In the top picture Jonny, Jen and I are on Kitchen Patrol.  When you are assigned Kitchen Patrol you have to help serve breakfast, lunch or dinner.  The middle picture is of all the people who did the polar plunge.  The bottom picture is of me jumping in and Ryan trying to pull me back.

Work

When i'm older i want to be Forensic Scientist because they get to solve crimes and investigate crimes. If you do what you love and love what you do, working should be fun. Some jobs don't always pay off because you don't always get the job apply for. Some jobs make you go to college for more than 4 years and that might cost a lot.

Money Maker

I spend my money on mostly electronics but sometimes i spend it at Kwik Trip because my friends and I go there alot. I can change my behavior by puting more in the bank than I spend.  If I start saving now it will be easier to pay bills in college.

Supreme Court

This post is about the new health care law that might be passed. It was assigned by the 21st century class that i'm in.  The law is called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and it states that everyone must have health care by 2014 or they will pay a fine.  Some people agree with this idea, but others think that it is against the Constitution because it is forcing people to buy something.  The Supreme Court will make the decision soon.
