Jade Spencer - Budget Project Reflection
1)How did this experiment compare with your initial thoughts about living on your own?
This experiment made me think about how living on my own is not easy. With living on my own there a lot of responsibility. It let me know that you can no longer spend money on things you want because you need it to pay for bills and food. This is how this experiment made me think about living on my own.
2)What would be the hardest part of living on your own?
The hardest part about living on your own is that you have to be careful with what you spend your money on. One reason that this the hardest part of living on your own is because if you want to go do something with your friends you can't because you don't have the money to spend and if you do

What surprised me the most about living on your own is how much a house cost. The reason that the amount of a house surprised me was that I thought that a 1 room apartment was about $200. When I check to see how much a 1 bedroom apartment was it was between $400 and $500. This is what surprised me most about living on my own.
4) Now that you realize how much your parents are responsible for, does it change the way you feel about them?
Now that I have realized how much my parents have done it makes me appreciate them. One reason it makes it makes me appreciate my parents more is that all the things that I have I don't have to have. Another reason it makes me appreciate my parents more is that they do anything for me. This is how this experiment made me feel about my parents.
5)Are you grateful enough? What would your life be like if they didn’t see to all of these things?
I am grateful enough for everything that I get. My life would still be the same if I didn't see all of the things that I saw. I would probably be in the mindstate that I was in before thinking that a house and living on minimum wage is easy. This is what life would be like if I didn't see what I
• Looking towards adolescent development, can parents of real-life teenagers compensate or make up for decisions that they made for or about their children when in adolescence they now see these decisions as being bad ones made? Or do you think that, once influenced, there is no way to undo
In my opinion, parents are the result of a young person’s actions. Parents or caregivers have the biggest influence in their children's lives. I think that the way you raise your children will reflect who they become and their morals. Growing up, a child learns by copying what their parents do for example for me, I got the habit of biting my nails from my mother. Cooking, cleaning, driving, are taught to us by our parents, therefore; children learn to carry on those skills they learn and use them in the future.
Back in the day when I was very little, I remember that my dad used to take care of me. He would never let me run around the house when glass could off break and hurt me. As I kept growing up my father started to give more freedom but also gave me more responsibilities; like he wanted me to do the chores of the house, not all of them but some. I knew they were not mine to do but I still help. When I went off to college and I had to do all by myself, I realize that my father did good on making me do my laundry, chores and etc., when I was young. Besides I knew that I had to do my chores for me to go out with friends. Although I had this kind of responsibilities at a young age I can say that it helped in life. But because some parents overprotective their children and they are not exposing to real life, children might not know how to function in society when their parents die.
I never really realized how fortunate I was. I took way too much for granted and I always just wanted the new cool thing, to be the most popular, most pretty girl in the school, or to go on the best vacation. And it was just then, standing on the cold streets of Toronto with my brother and his hockey team, when I realized, just how much you need to appreciate what you have, because someone out there is much less lucky.
Operation mangers should also have the same skills as functional manager but they are responsible in managing day to day operations and they should also possess the authority to hire and fire employees.
... (2001) showed that grateful individuals were especially appreciative of the contribution of others to their happiness. Expressing gratitude and reviewing three good things highlighted this, and reminded me to show my loved ones my gratitude.
Comparing the Parents in Your Shoes and Growing Up and What they Learn About Themselves
Our parents work hard to get us where we are today. Due to the fact that my parents had lack of education and there English wasn 't that good they wasn’t able to get a job that was more relaxing. Though they work in company only they were able to earn enough to raise all of us. Through nurture, now that I’m older I don’t exactly see all the struggles that my parent had gone through to raise me, but I do see and understand more about the struggles. Their love for us, nothing can compare to it. Seeing what my parents had gone through and how hard they have work inspired me to work hard, go to school get a good job so in the future they can depend on me and just rest.
Now, it would be hard to think of any good coming out of living in such conditions. But just like a many things in this so-called existence, a person would have to look very hard to find the good things. There are, in fact, good things about living in the pits of poverty. For instance, children that are poor tend to appreciate things much more than a child with a more “privileged” life. When they get new things, they treat those things like intricately wrought gold, or a fine work of art. To them, a brand-new pair of ‘Jordan’ gym shoes or a ’PS2’ seems like pure treasure. Over time, this quality of appreciation will develop continually over the years. They will make responsible choices on things that they will always appreciate. With hope and a prayer, they will be able to pass down this quality to their future generations.
As I was always told, it is better to live on your own then it is with a roommate. These are reasons why.one. When you are living, alone you have the responsibility to take care of everything and not have to worry about other people getting in your way. Living on your own offers a great deal of freedom to act how you want and live the way you want. If you want to lie on the couch for days on end, watching there is no one there to complain about your behavior. You can listen to your music as loud as you can want or any kind of music for that matter because you do not have anyone nagging about what you are doing.
Living with your family and living all by yourself is like living on two different planets. It will affect every detail of your life, right down to the way you talk, the foods youeat, and how much money you can spend. It will also determine how often your friends visitand how much freedom you have.
I am grateful for my life in many ways and for many reason, I was born 5 weeks premature and one of twins. Though my twin did not survive long enough for me to know him it gave me a purpose to try new things. Whenever I am scared of a new experience such as snow-boarding I think about how lucky I am to be alive and well. This thought helps me to spread my wings and embrace the unknown. Even simple things make me feel thankful, such as running in the rain or taking a walk with my dog or just a lazy Sunday afternoon with myself makes me think how great it is to be alive and here. I have always delight in the small moments in life and to think that they could never exist for me is depressing. Furthermore, being able to share my thoughts and feeling with people I love is something that brings me great joy.
...rks. In a word, the MA experience was considered to be a bridge that combines the student learning with working skills, it would be of great help for my future career.
This Parent- Child Learning Experience was a great one for me because I love helping children succeed in fun ways when it comes to education. The two families that I worked with was a joy and the best part is that I have the honor of severing thesis families on a daily basis.
Throughout this term, my fellow classmates and I have had a chance to participate in a group project with two or three of our peers. The general topic was a vivid problem in a industry. Our class had a very wide and diverse sets of topics: from Styrofoam, to industrial hacking, to corruption in an influential international organization like FIFA, and so many more. Our group decided to develop a project named “Outsourcing and the price we pay for brands”. The name itselves is somewhat self-explanatory, however the problem is so much more complicated and interesting. In this paper, many struggles and concerns, of the group and of my my own, will be unfolded as I reflect the progress of this project.
