3/3

The last topic that was discussed in my economics class was the whole stock market thing. I did not know nothing about it. In that lesson we as a class learned how it worked. A stock market can be easily defined as a stock exchange between others. the way it works is by traders and investors buying and selling the stock of a company on the exchange. Now the company in which your buying the stocks from doesn't receive any money from this type of trade, it still receives money from the IPO.
The stock market is a good way to invest your money because if you are smart about it could really benefit you economically. In that lesson we also started playing a game in which we go through a simulation on how the whole stock market works and it was a very cool experience. My team which went by the name Stock finesses were in first place a couple of times and it was cool to see how it all worked.

2/3 Another topic discussed in my Government/economics class was everything about civics. Civics is the study of the rights, duties and responsibilities as a U.S. citizen. Before that lesson I didn't know much about this but in this lesson I learned the various Duties and Responsibilities as a citizen. The duties as a citizen vary from the obvious like following the law, paying taxes, Defending the nation: registering for selective service. And other things like serving in courts in courts and another simple one like having to go to school until the age of 16. I one does not follow these duties one can get in serious trouble. You can either have to pay a fine or go to jail for not having done your duties as a US citizen. The other set are the civic responsibilities, those are the things that one should just be aware of, like it's not mandatory but it's recommended to do so. Some,e of the things are like knowing what the government is doing so that you can have the chan...

1/3 I really have no favorite topics but one of the topics that I feel that it's important to know as a citizen is everything about the voting system in the US. I really believe that people should be aware of how everything works and how the process escalates into becoming president of the US. In that lesson I found out a lot of things that I did not know about like how there is a process, like for example: first is the Nomination which is the official endorsement of a candidate by a party, then it's the Preliminary in which a the final candidates for presidency are elected. After that comes the primary election and that election is opened to all, no matter of what party you are registered with. The last three are the closed primary elections, the Caucus, and the General election. The closed primary elections is the one that is only opened to those registered as party members. The Caucus is a meeting in which members of a particular political party select candidates for pres...

In my last year in Simon Tech, as a senior, my favorite moment was when I found out that I had gotten accepted to the college that I wanted to go to. I really have wanted to attend CSULA after high school and when I found out I had gotten accepted I was happy. I found out on March 10nth on my fourth period and when I saw the Email I got up and was like "finally". After that  started gotten emails about my portal and what not and was really exited to start doing all those things as I transition from high school to college. Another reason that I was happy and exited to go to that college was because some of my good friends are going there. I have a couple of friends that I know that are going there and well that's good to know because I won't be going to a college where I don't know anyone. And well the last and final reason that that day was my favorite day was because that day a graduate friend that I Know from CSULA mentioned that she would help me get a job ...
