The HIgh Cost of Living

 
    No matter how much money you have, college is super expensive. My family has been adding on the my college fund since I was born. I have received several savings bonds and I have also been saving my own money when I work. I have begun applying for scholarships, however, I haven't applied for FASFA yet. I plan to do that sometime this next week.

     In response to the "Obama takes tough stance on higher education." I like the ideas from the article. I agree with some of what they are saying. I think that college is way too expensive. It is so hard for college students to have very much money because every single penny goes to school. It is crazy how much that everyone has in loans and debts. I agree that there is a better way to work through this issue.

Hire Me Please

This blog is based on the article How to Make a Good First Impression and in response to Mrs Steven's blog. 

1. My strengths for an interview situation would be showing up on time, dressing appropriate, and I am pretty good about acting calm. My weaknesses would probably be thinking on the spot, I am not very good on answering questions correctly when I am being put on the spot.

2. I can overcome my weaknesses by practicing more, have people ask me situational questions and make me think on my feet. To accentuate my strengths I could focus on being more relaxed and making my self feel comfortable around people that I have never talked to before.

3. I have only went to three job interviews. For not being very experienced with interviews I was very surprised with how well they went. I think If I didn't act as shy when I was talking to the people, I would of had better luck.
