There are many projects that we did that were really fun but my favorite project was the minimum-wage project, because my partner and i found great jobs that paid very well and we lived great. i also liked it because it was very fun looking at the types of houses that we could afford and the types of cars that we could afford because we were able to afford most of it and we found a great deal on a house. It included a giant T.V. free electricity, free WIFI, all we had to do was pay for the water bill and rent, which was under twelve hundred a month which was affordable. The project had to include creativity, collaboration, communication between us, problem solving and decision making. The reasoning for those is that we needed to be creative of what we wanted, we need to collaborate on the what we needed to do, we needed to communicate, and we definitely needed to make decision and solve the problems of our budget.

I learned that leaving on minimum wage would be horrible unless you get a job as an interpreter, they make a lot for out of high school. I also learned that if you get out of high school and you want a job then your life is going to suck for a while so i the number one thing i learned from this is that college is important and we need to go to college to be successful. I'm most proud of the way Chad and I spent our budget, we had life made but it isn't as good as getting a job out of college with a college degree. If we had a college degree and we had a job out of college we would have had a bigger house and we wouldn't have worried about our budget as much as we had to, but we had a ton of money left in our budget after we were done buying everything.

Validations

The short film was about a guy who loved to smile and get others to smile with him, but one day he couldn't get one beautiful amazing women to smile. So then he couldn't smile because he had not succeeded what he had wanted to do and that was to get her to smile. He tried sooo hard too get her to but she wouldn't until he gave up and helped out her mom. After he made her mother smile she started to smile and she had set off to find the man but he was no where to be found. Then the last day he had found her and they were happily ever after and everyone had smiled once again and no one was ever sad or mad ever ever again.

Happy people

I agree because, A benefit of being a happy person is that most of the time happy people are successful in life.

I disagree because, If everyone was happy all the time and they were never anything different then it would get boring in life and it would get annoying.



my opinion is, that people should be happy but they should also have other characteristics besides being happy.

In Google sketch up the number one tool that was hard to use was the rotation tool because it kept messing up and glitching. The number one tool that i used would of had to be the materials and color tool because it was simple and never messed up or glitched. Another tool that was easy to use was the line tool because it was the most simplest tool in the whole project. Another tool that was kind of hard was the push and pull tool because sometimes it would go in the opposite direction that you would want it to go to.
