I am a rich and famous rapper. My days are usually spent working in my studio trying to make new tracks for my fans. Being famous is not as great as it seems, after a while it can get frustrating. It makes it difficult to try to have a normal life. One good thing about this lifestyle is the money I've made in my carrier. I get to buy things I have always wanted. On my days off work I spend my days eating and enjoying my belongings with my friends and sometimes some of my family like my brothers and cousins, we mostly play my video game systems and they all whant to drive my cars but I don't mind.
My father was a billionaire; however, in 2009 he was diagnosed with cancer and in 2011 he passed away. He left behind substantial amount of money and being the only son I inherited a huge amount of my father's estate. I wasn’t that smart when it came to spending the money, I didn’t have a plan for the future, I didn’t think about my university fees or my daily needs. I would buy anything I felt like buying , I remember I had only fifty thousand dollars left and instead of saving them I bought thirty thousand dollar Rolex watch that caught my eye. In 2013 I completely ran out of money, it was a huge transition. I had to move out of our house, I couldn't afford

Is college worth it? Is college worth the time and energy you invest? This is a question that many students ask themselves as the cost of college rises and jobs are harder to find. As a 27 year, old college student myself I really thought about this question. I had to think back when I first started college at the age of 18 and how I was excited about starting college. I easily got tired of all the work that it took to get the degree so I dropped out. After having my first child and trying to work and take of her and myself with only making minimal wages, barely get by that when I knew college is worth it. A college education is one of the most reliable paths to financial success for students and gives the opportunity
Vladek and Anja Spiegelman were survivors of the holocaust. They were both able to brave the harsh conditions of Auschwitz and the other acts of brutality employed by the Nazi regime in World War II. However, they both experienced some losses and acquired mental and physical scars because of their survival that they would carry with them until their respective deaths. Vladek Spiegelman became a frugal hoarder who is quick to distrust people and is generally not a pleasant man to be around. Vladek most likely suffers from post-traumatic stress because of his survival, which is probably what dictates his unpleasant behavior and skepticism. Anja Spiegelman was able to survive too, but at a high mental cost. She eventually ended up committing suicide, most likely in order to escape the horrors that she had faced. Where Vladek and Anja Spiegelman differ is how they were able to survive based on the way they were able to cope with situations and problems by utilizing different strategies, and the way in which they were successful in the end.
When average Americans struggle to put food on the table, many affluent people struggle to remain financially sound. Celebrities, politicians, lotto winners, and professional athletes receive millions of dollars in wages and payments, but somehow are unable retain their fortunes. According to the U.S. census bureau, the median family income in the United States is about 30,000 dollars annually; somehow some parents are able to feed their children and fund their children’s education. According to recent studies by CNN Money, the median cost of raising children to age eighteen was 241,080 dollars and that number does not even include the cost of a college education. The cost of a college education is continually on the rise and can go as high as 60,000 dollars a year for private universities. Many of the average family’s wages have remained stagnant while many costs such as: gas, healthcare, groceries, clothing and an education have risen at exponential rates. Unfortunately, many of society’s, wealthy believe they have limitless funds while many of them face charges of fraud and tax evasion. But what causes rich Americans to find the desire to self-indulge? Fame can place individuals with a heavy burden to become successful.
The American Dream. The ideal that every US citizen should have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative. This ideology that anybody, regardless of race, gender, or social status, is able to work up the ladder and achieve success. However, the process to receive and live in this prosperity in today’s world has been greatly flawed. A key element to having a true chance of the American Dream is getting an education that goes beyond a high school degree. Yet, even this seemingly simple step in the process is difficult to achieve for many for countless reasons, however, college tuition is the prime cause for this setback. Even though there are people who believe that a college admission is fair to all, I firmly disagree, as countless people cannot pay for higher education, and, therefore, are not given an equal chance to live a moment of the American Dream.
Becoming a leader is never an easy task. It is complex with rational decision making and accepting responsibility for those decisions. Being the leader, does not mean that you always make the best choice, but it does mean you learn and grow from all you experiences. Sometimes becoming a leader is not a choice, but a responsibility that you inherit. Leaders are not born, but are created through trial and error. A true leader cares for his subordinate and will always respect, listen, and mentor them, but a true leader will also discipline correct subordinates when needed. Sometimes a leader needs to depend on his faith and look to a higher power, so that he can make choices with guidance.

Many public schools offer music education as part of their curriculum.

Recently there have been many strides to strengthen the importance of music education.
In my case neither of these thoughts are relavent to my life, yet. I am going to be an actress, so if it's wealth Shakespeare wrote about then this will reflect my life. Some actresses like myself make it and some don't. The ones who didn't are still waitressing hoping that they will someday get their big break. Does this mean that the famous actress will have a more fulfilling life? Perhaps, but i question the the amount of true love they actually have in their life. People love money, it attracts them in a way that nothing else does. I hope that someone falls so deeply in love with me that it doesn't matter if i am wearing a Versace gown or an Arby's uniform.
...e those fantasies in depth and live either the rich or the famous life style with both its positives and negatives, some people might change their minds about being rich or famous or even both. They would rather choose to have a normal lifestyle but be in touch with their loved ones and live a less stressful life where they don’t have to put media and the public’s interest before their own. As discussed previously, there are many differences in the defining a rich person and a famous person.

In the past, research often examined child and adolescent popularity levels and their relation to peer group affiliation, developmental outcomes, and a host of other variables. Recent literature has however established a variation within the concept of popularity that challenges past research regarding its effects and characteristics. Popularity is now understood to encompass two different constructs: sociometric popularity and perceived popularity. Sociometric popularity is described as representing a person’s level of overall likeability, and sociometric popular peers are frequently described as kind, trustworthy, and dominant, but not aggressive (Sandstrom & Cillessen, 2006; Parkhurst & Hopmeyer, 1998). On the contrary, perceived popularity captures an individual’s level of social reputation despite likeability (Prinstein & Cillessen, 2003). It encompasses a peer’s status, influence and centrality in a peer group (Sandstrom & Cillessen, 2006). Perceived popular peers are often described as untrustworthy, unkind, and dominantly aggressive (Parkhurst & Hopmeyer, 1998). Unusually, perceived popular peers are also regularly found to possess prosocial tendencies despite their overwhelming use of aggression (Sandstrom & Cillessen, 2006).
