It’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever done.”

Imagination is more important than knowledge...
-Albert Einstein
The article Picture Power is about using your imagination to capture your dreams. Imagination can help you in many ways you can’t imagine! It can help you with your future. But can imagination become reality? Of course it can but only you can make it happen. One way to motivate you is to create a “Goals Collage,” in it will be pictures, words, quotes, anything that that represent you and mean something or you can look at the collage when you are feeling down and need a lift.
To create a “Goal Collage” is a relatively simple matter. What you first need to know is all the goals you want to achieve in your life. It could be anything from your dream home, sports cars to pictures of your heroes. It’s really is up to your imagination and what you want out of your life. After you are finished put it somewhere where you will always see it and make it happen.
Here’s how to stay out of harm’s way on the job this summer.
The article “Risky Business” is basically about avoiding and being aware of the dangers during any summer job. Many teens died due to work related injuries and many visit the hospital. For a restaurant job you must be aware of hot pans, food spills, and knives especially. Also watch for the kitchen floor because it may be wet and slippery. So wear the right shoes to avoid any danger to you or to others. At any retail job, it may seem like the safest job, but it causes the most number of deaths in young workers. Because they are more at risk to getting robbed, so you must be ready to handle a situation like this. So never work by yourself. Watch for heavy lifting because you can throw out your back. For any outdoor job always wear sunscreen and always drink water to keep hydrated. For any heavy-machinery jobs always watch your back and know your limits. You must be alert every time and protect your ears.

Statistically, the safest place for a child to be is in school right? We may have problems in our schools, but not to the point where we need to arm our teachers. I think that teachers carrying guns is a little extreme. But as a high school student I think that more measures must be taken to protect children such as, metal detectors.
In other countries like
I think this a bad idea but students like me are unprotected, sitting in class, are basically "sitting ducks" for any sort of violence, whether it is from within the school, or from others coming in from outside the school.
Mistakes to avoid in career planning
1. Saying “I Can’t”
The word “I can’t” shouldn’t even go through your head with planning your career. That one of the biggest mistake any student can make is assuming that a prospective career path is out of reach. No goal is impossible to reach as long you’re determined and committed to meeting that goal. You may ask yourself, “Who am I?” Answering this questions typically require you to define yourself in relation to your peers and to adults.
2. Getting dollar sings in your eyes
Money is just but one of many factors you consider in when deciding on a career. If you decide your career on how much money you will make in the end you may not like your job. Sure people earn more than $50,000 a year, but only 14% are “very satisfied” with their job. Remember, the career you choose becomes part of who you are. So choose a career you look forward to.
3. Doing what your parent except—or what you think they except.
Listen and respect the opinions of your parents because they know what best for you, but not all the time. Parents can be difficult sometimes. But it’s your life. Graduation is a transition to adulthood that changes the goals and lives of every individual. Be open with your career ideas.
4. Assuming a job won’t be useful in building experience.
Working is a way to help define yourself as an individual and as an essential part of society. Work also has its awards like getting paid.
5. Going it alone.
In the end its all on you because now you are responsible for a lifetime of choices and actions that will define you.
“We’re in the midst of a serious financial crisis; our entire economy is in danger”
- President George W. Bush
The article Wall Street blue talks about the falling economy and what the government plans on doing to save the economy. On September 15, Lehman Brothers file Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the largest bankruptcy filing in U.S. History. That day the
The economy fell in jeopardy because people wanted to buy homes that they couldn’t find afford, and banks provided the money for it. Homeowners paid monthly payment but then payments grew and they stop paying. Then quickly banks started losing money. Banks took back the houses but then tried to sell them again.
A guy named Henry Paulson asked the federal government to provide him with $700 billion to save banks. He would use that money to buy bad loans. With those dreadful loans gone, banks would able to provide money more freely, and the nation could get back to business. The national debt was nearly $10 trillion before the bailouts. It’s higher now, and taxpayers will have to pay it off.
“We’ve got to understand that we’re all in this together.”
