This is how I feel about going to high school.

This is a blog that I have been reading and posting on. It is called Avery's homerun blog and, it has a lot of good posts that are stories and poems. They are very interesting to read and they are updated pretty often.

Borrowing

I know that most of us are not yet talking about college financially but, we all need to learn to budget our money when we get a credit card. I just watched a video about debt and realized that we all need to be aware of that.

ELC, Wolf Ridge

Last week I went to a place called Wolf Ridge. It was a whole lot of fun! I went with my whole eighth grade class, and we did a bunch of fun stuff together, such as: rock climbing, hiking, learning about small mammals, climbing over a wall as a team (one kid got a major wedgie ;) ), did a high ropes course, and played a bunch of poker. I stayed in a dorm with seven other guys, and we had a lot of fun. I wish we could've stayed longer, and a bunch of other people agree with me. We also saw a great view of lake superior.

After watching a video about image attribution, I learned that you can't just pull an image of the web and use it for whatever you want without the person who took the images' permission. So you can't just use Google images (darn) even when you are in a pinch. You have to use a creative commons because the users allow you to always use the image as long as you give attribution.

My Dream Jobs

I have a lot of things that I would like to be when I get out of college. This is my list in favorite order, and how much money they make.
1. Pastry Chef ($50000+)
2. Private chef for a wealthy person ($200000+)
3. Chocolatier ($21000-100000)
4. Private Investigator ($75000+)
5. Hotel Manager ($23000-880000)

Some of these lines of work can be quite stressful and have long ours of work. They also have a lot to do with reputation. When you work in school, it is to pay mostly for school. But after school, it is to feed yourself.
