Family Assignment

My family was a very wealthy family. We were making $380,000 a year with a savings of $500,000. While going through the assignment, I began to realize the value of the dollar and made me think about the things my family will spend through the year. Vacation, clothing, gas, a new car this year. It makes me realize how fortunate I am. It also made me realize why some unfortunate families will go on Thanksgiving to do their shopping on the great deals. With the amount of money we were given. We were able to afford a very nice home in Glencoe. We were able to purchase a Porsche and an Escalade. This assignment made me realize the value of the dollar and how fortunate we all are at Stevenson. We should be thankful this Thanksgiving and should really reflect on what we have been given.

Community Service 1

Last Friday I attended Just Harvest with Jake Ferzaca. I was in the back cleaning dishes while Jake was serving some of the people that attended. It was nice Seeing Mrs. Fainman for the first time in a while. I think I will be back many more times for this class and political thought as I really think that I will be making a difference. The man in charge, Sergio, seems to love coming and helping everyone get a meal. Sergio was kind to everyone, and did a great job helping everyone out from Stevenson. Overall great experience and will be back very soon. This counted for 5 hours.

This was a direct correlation in class by helping the lower classes by feeding them. It is a way how we can give back to the lower class that has worked so hard by providing them with much needed meals.
