I just watched the video I attached above on youtube and it really put a perspective on this entire college/university aspect. College is a bussiness and the more and more people that can afford college the more college will most likely be; for a variety of reasons.
Big Questions: Should you go to a community college for your first 2 years to get all of your pre requistes out of the way? Going to a community college for your first year or two may save you money. However, is the education that you are getting the same? Also, the experience at a community college compared to a college/university is completely different. At a community college you do not have the same experiences. There are no sports teams, major clubs, greek life, or even exta help places that a university would offer: writing center, help centers for each class, multiple advisors, etc. Is college really worth it? Going to college is deffinitley pricey. However, it is an investment, and it will benefit you. Having a college education will never hurt you.

This summer I will be taking two summer classes. The first class that I am taking is Calculus 1 at Manchester Community College. The second class that I am taking is R Programming for Data Science; I am taking this class online with Michigan State University (MSU). I am taking Calculus 1 because I am a little behind where I need to be in math right now; taking Cal 1 will allow me to get on track and get me ready for my actuarial science exam next summer. I am taking R programming this summer because it is the most used data science language and it the fastest growing data science language in the world (Professor Finley, PhD).
There are plenty of benefits with taking summer classes. The average amount of years it takes to receive a bachelors degree in the United States is six years. Taking summer classes can help you graduate in the predicted four year time frame. It also allows you to focus on fewer classes/credits at a time which will hopefully allow you to receive better grades for that class. Taking summer classes there is also the possibility that there will be fewer people in the class. Students go home over the summer; Thus, there will be less students on campus then during the school year. Joining the United States Army can beneficial for many. The army is one of three military departments. Throughout the army, you learn respect, honor, and how to be a leader. I believe that the army can teach you things that you will not learn anywhere else. Even if you don't spend your entire career in the army, the army can help you receive higher ranking positions in a job you may obtain after the army. There is never any down side with joining the army; joining the army provides benefits no matter where it leads you.
The mission of the United States Army is to deploy, fight, and win our nation's wars by providing ready, prompt, and sustained land dominance by Army forces across the full spectrum of conflict as part of the joint force. If this is something you are interested in there are many options and routes that you can take to get your self to this point. The army provides many options. 1.) You can enlist and go straight to basic. 2.) You can go to college, join the Army ROTC program that they have there, and complete a bachelors degree. The army also provides scholarships that pay for your college tuition. From a personal point of view, everyone that I have talked to about joining the army only have positive things to say about their experience. Many of my dads friends that I have talked to have said that joining the army is the best decision that they have made! https://www.army.mil/info/organization/?from=hp_spotlight If you are a Spartan sports fan or a fan of Division 1 college sports be sure to go over to the project 4 section on my website. I created a video on how the NCAA scams their own athletes, and the different ways on how Michigan State University can do more, to draw in the attention of better recruits for their sports teams!
*New York Stock Exchange The average millionaire has several sources of income. Sources of income can almost come from anywhere. However, I feel that investing is the most important. Before starting anything you need to familulairze yourself with the stock market and what it is all about. The importance of investing is understanding the basics and not being SCARED. People lose money in the stock market all the time and that is okay. Investing comes with a risk, but can reward you big over time. Investing isn't easy, but there are plenty of ways to put it into more simple terms. Ignore anything negative that others say, nobody, not even Warren Buffet knows what is going to happen with the stock market.
The article written by Arielle O'Shea and Kevin Voigt is perfect for starting off. It goes over many terms that are crucial for investing. The stock market is made up of exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq. To buy a stock you place you trade through a broker who then deals with the stock exchange on your behalf. The 2019 schedule is all set. Michigan State University will have a total of 12 games, with 7 games being at home. The home games are Tulsa, Western Michigan, Arizona State, Indiana, Penn State, Illinois, and Maryland.
After a rough 2018 season, Spartan fans will be looking for a major bounce back from the team. ESPN preseason ranking for the 2018 season, had MSU football finishing within the top 15 and a possible top 10 spot. However, MSU finished out of the top 25 with a 7-6 record and receiving a poor bowl game and losing. After an awful 2018 season, MSU is predicted not to finish in the top 25, and to finish with a losing record of 5-7. https://on.ncaa.com/2V18E6D The first Tesla that came out, model S, buyers would pay on average around $75,000. With all of this being realitvely new technology many wonder how soon will it be before a Tesla is cheap enough for the average household. That time is now. The pricing of Tesla cars will continue you to become more people friendly with all of the pricing. In the meantime, the model 3 is here for the people. Brand new the car will cost about $35,000.

Tesla is now. Tesla is the future. Elon Musk is hungry to be the best at what he does. With the automobile industry I believe Tesla will be the future for a long time. Tesla cars offer so many safety features that no other car company has developed yet. In politics, with the possibility of a green deal being put in place sometime in the future, Tesla sales would sky rocket. https://www.tesla.com/blog/35000-tesla-model-3-available-now Author: Bryce Dearborn
Sports truly show how amazing the human body is and what sports mean to each individual person. Sports are all over the face of this earth and there are many different kinds of sports. Throughout every different country you will see a sport that you may not neccessarly see at home. In this video there is a collage of some of the greatest moments in sports history. Sports are a drive and passion for many. There is a lot of joy, happiness and amazement of what can truly happen. This video is my all time favorite video to show the passion for sports. Sports form a community. The pain that players feel the fans feel and the pain that fans feel the players feel. The loss of sports players sadden the community and loss of sports fans sadden the community. It does not matter how much money you have or where you are from, sports give something for everyone.
This is one of my favorite sports commercials of all time. I love it because it is fun to watch and has a powerful message in it. It starts off with a bunch of kids playing in a park, to professinal soccer players playing in a full 50,000 person stadium.
The message that I take away from the this video is that be yourself. Everyone was choosing other players to be like. The kid who scored the game winning goal was himself the entire time. The second thing that I took away from this video was risk everything; which was in the title. At the end of the game the kid who scored the game winning goal was unknown when there were plenty of well known players around him. The kid took the ball for himself and showed what he was truly made of. |
