Do you think it is important to go to college? Why or Why not?

I think it is important to go to colleges because it's a way of meeting new people and in order to be successful a degree in high learning should be mandatory. A degree is needed nowadays to make more money. With just a high school diploma not much money is being made.

"I think the world would be a better place if students learned more ______ in school." Write a word or phrase and explain why you chose it.

I think the world would be a better place if students learned more about real world events in school.

I choose this phrase because in school things that are being taught are not up to date that have been taught repeatedly over and over and it's not fresh material so it doesn't keep the students in tact with what's going on outside.

When should I start planning financially? (Examples: Car, house, college tuition, laptop, e.t.c...)

I think financial planning should begin the senior year of high school or junior year if possible. Within a year the child would be going on to college and living on their own and should know how to manage money so they wont spen the rest of their adulthood paying off loans and grants. Also it's good start planning financially early as high school because if they want to go to college it;s expensive with books, tuition, living expenses, they want to be able to have money to spend on luxurious things and money being saved can be used for all of the above.

Do you think couples should be allowed to choose the sex or other characteristics of their baby like eye color? Why or why not?

I don't think couples should be allowed to choose the sex or other characteristics of their baby because it take the excitement out of having a baby. Everyone is made individually and not to please anyone in particular and I think the couple should just be thankful for being able to give birth to a baby, because when that baby grow up they may not be satisfied with their look.

Would you rather be a child, teenager or an adult? Why?

I would rather be a teenage because as a child not much freedom is given and as an adult a lot of responsibility is given and expected. Being a teenager you have an enough amount of freedom and you have responsibilities but not as much as an adult and not as little as a child. Being a teenager your treated fairly.

Children often see celebrities as role models. What is your opinion of this?

I don't think it's good for children to look at celebrities as their role models because its the same as looking up to a a stranger. The child knows nothing about this celebrity only what is told and half of the time what is being told is usually over exaggerated or not even the truth. Children should look within their home or someone they know enough as a role model because a celebrity shouldn't be held accountable as being a role model to a child because at the end of the day they are normal and make mistakes just like an average person.

Do you think it is better to raise teenagers in the city, a small town, or the country?

I don't think whether a child is raised in a city, small town, or country has a big affect on how the child is raised. I feel that discipline and morals all comes down to the parent or whoever the child is being raised by. Country, small town, or city they all have the same type of people.

Day care or/and after school care can be expensive and I would make it free to all single mother's and their kids. Addition to the recreation I would create a safe haven for abandoned children because all children no matter of the age have the right to experience life.

How often do you buy things online? List some items that you have purchased online. Do you like to purchase items online or in store. Explain your answer.

The only things I have brought from online was books from the Barnes and Noble bookstore and it is the only time I order anything from online. I would prefer purchasing items out of the store rather than from online because in the store its given directly to you it's chosen by you and there's no amount of time on waiting for the item.When an item from online a big risk is being taken because the item could be used, broken, stolen, or lost during the process of being delivered.

What do you think about governor Corzine's state budget proposal? He wants to raise income taxes on all properties. He wants to freeze state workers wages which means no pay raises. And he wants to force workers to take off one day a moth without pay.

I think it is unnecessary to make it mandatory for workers to take off a day without pay because taxes are already being raised and pay is being frozen which means workers need to have all the money they can and taking a day off work without pay doesn't help the situation any better.

A business can benefit from having a website because it's more exposure for the company and another form of advertising. Depending on the company it can be used for better connecting purposes.

Although Obama's stimulus package for 787 billion dollars to help boost the current economy by creating jobs and cutting taxes was passed today, I can't fully put my faith into it until I see people getting their jobs back and the prices of taxes going down.
