The High Cost of Education

        I plan to pay for college through as many scholarships as possible. Throughout the summer I plan to apply for many of them and continue throughout senior year. I am completely relying on scholarships and will hopefully be getting a job soon to also help lift the dream of going to the best school possible. A job will surely give me more confidence about where I'm going and how I plan not to be in debt.

         In terms of signing up for scholarships I have not done enough. Although, in terms of trying my best and volunteering I believe I have done enough to be able to show that I use my time wisely and make the best of it. I've made sure to be in at least one challenging course and to keep myself busy to make sure I'm not giving up my time to useless things. I'm going to try to receive as much income for college as possible and am not going to worry about being in debt, but keep going forward. FAFSA is something I will be able to sign up next year, as for this year I plan to sign up for other scholarships.

Creativity Counts

Creativity is something all of us have. It's art, music, singing, creating a symphonic piece. It's creating a new programs for computers. Most of all it's shining out what your good at.

 Creativity is important in education, because it shows who you are as an individual and makes you stand out. It makes your mind flow and without creativity nothing would ever be invented.

Hire me, please!

1. For an interview I believe that I would have trouble by forgetting what I would say. My strength would be dressing up and being on perfect time, because if it's that important it's not likely of me to look sloppy or be late.
2. I can overcome my weaknesses by watching videos on youtube that show how to answer questions in an interview while still being yourself. I can accentuate my strengths by dressing up nice while having a great posture and a good handshake.
3. I have never applied for a job, but if I ever did I would make sure to put all truth.

Digital Learning Day

1. prezi.com
I would use prezi as a tool in the classroom by telling the kids to look up their most favorite fact about space and tell them to look up a picture about that fact. Then I would create a prezi and put each of their facts and pictures to show the class. On prezi you can sign up for free or sign up for other futures for an additional charge. When you sign up for the free account you put your first and last name, email, and a password.
2. In my statistics class we used a program where we saw how normal models changed their distribution.
