20 %

I would evaluate my success is I believe that I would get a 8. I believe this because in the month of October I didn't get what I needed to get done. Yet overall I got everything done. I learned a lot about the court system and what puts or brings kids into foster or group homes. I also learned about how many are in the state and how much money it takes and the requirements to be a foster parent. What I accomplished this month was I talk to the head of Wyoming foster care and we talked about all the requirements and what brings kids in and out of foster homes. My obstacles were my family issues at the time prevented me to get some of my 20% done.

Communism vs Socilism

Communism is having everything equal. Have equal shares. The government chooses your career based on what your good at not by what you want to do.
Socialism is having equal opportunities. They get to do what they want to do and not by what they are good at. They can drop out at 16 if in public schools.

I am for raising the minimum wage. According to the Time for a Raise "3.8 million workers were paid at or below the federal minimum wage of $7.25 in 2011. Since minimum wage, in many cases, does not cover basic necessities of life."(Time For a Raise). My family falls into this category. With minimum wage we live pay check to pay check and that sometimes isn't enough. "An employee working a 40-hour week at the federal minimum wage would earn $15,080 per year. This income would leave a two-person household -- say, a single parent with one child -- just below the federal poverty threshold of $15,130." ( Increasing the Minimum Wage: Pros & Cons). Its been four years since it was last increased, which raising the minimum wage would according to The White House Blog, " its a boost to their income that both helps them make ends meet and increases spending in the broader economy." (The White House Blog). Also its believed according to Increasing the Minimum Wage: Pros & Cons, "such a move would act as economic stimulus. When low-income households earn more money, they are likely to spend it, pouring more dollars into the economy" (Increasing the Minimum Wage: Pros & Cons). "This increased purchasing power across the board helps stimulate the economy and benefits small businesses, many of which were hardest hit by the recession." (Time for a Raise). This is why I believe it is time for  a raise in minimum wage.

My accomplish for this month was to find out what the qualifications of running a foster home were. I didn't have any problems finding out my information. I found out that Foster parents have to have background checks,  class room training, and first aid certification. There are different levels and types of foster homes and the qualifications. Mine is for the basic foster home. You cant qualify if you've been convicted of any of the crimes listed: Sexual behavior, Domestic Violence, Child abuse, Drug felony/ alcohol. Once in the foster home the qualifications are the have to have hygiene, nutrition, clothing, education, transportation, sleeping rooms. In their bedrooms they must have a window for a fire escapes and separate beds they have the opportunity to attend church. Their punishment must be constructive and they are not allowed to spank or put them in a dark isolated room.

The company I work for is Apple. Each person who works for apple got a different salary. My salary is $150,000. We work in Panama. I had to take out tax for social security, income tax, and government tax. After all my taxes were taken out I make $92,8000 for my grand total.

I have yet to buy a trade but I'm wanting to trade a toy company, and have the catalyst be Christmas.
My investment is Marathon Oil. My dividend is 75 cents a year per stock. so if you own 1000 stocks you would make $750. Marathon Oil has been around since 1887 and has been making energy worldwide.

The game black jack was easy to pick up after I watched the first hand. When I walked into class I was confused at first what was going on and then I picked it up fast. This help me learn not to let my emotions get in the way when dealing with stock.

The difference between Trade and an Investment is a trade is short or shorter then six months. An investment is long term or lasts more then six months. In trade you look for a catalyst, which will tell if the stock needs to be sold or kept. An investment can pay a dividend, which is a portion of money the company has left over after their overhead is paid that they give to stock holders. When a stock decreases in an investment, you can either sell the stock, or buy more of the same stock lowering you the price per stock. When a stock decreases in a trade, you can wait for your catalyst to happen and if already has then you can sell the stock. Short sell is when you borrow stocks from a company and you sale the stocks for your own gain. Then you replace the stocks you borrowed but keep the gain.

On Thursday our class did a game which our teacher had us stay outside the doors of the class room and when he was ready let all the kids in. We had to pick up different types of candy and play money. Some of the play money had tip or information about the game like which candy will join with another brand or which ones might crash. All this going on at once with the lights off and all the loud noises like Mr. Kapptie saying what prices are changing and the kids all trying to exchange candies in order to make money. At the end of the class we had to count up how much we made and the kid with the most made got class cash.

My project is about making like a half way house for kids so that they have a place to go. I have called a couple of people that know about the court system and group homes so i could get information about what would be the best way to go about it. I have also look into what would you need in order to do this. For the month of October I'm going to be looking at what would be the qualifications that would be needed in order to have this happen.
