(Love OPP: Selfishness
Giving to others’ basic needs without having my motive personal reward.)I at least see a few examples of love every week that I can point out, for example: at church I see people give money without getting a reward for doing that. At my school some people give money to help the building funs for our gym. There are people who raise money for charities and that is basically giving to God.

(Responsibility OPP: Unreliability
Knowing and doing what both God and others are expecting from me.)
This character clue is in some ways hard to do, for example: one evening I finished my homework and decided to read and it was a really good book but right than I just remembered that I forgot to do one thing but I said to my self I will just do it in the morning. Even know I got it done I should have got it done that night. Now I definitely make sure my homework is all done so that it doesn’t happen again.

Economy

Our economy is in trouble, starting with taxes. It cost more to buy food, clothing, and especially gas for cars. I think that the elected officials will raise taxes even more to make money for the government. Small businesses will probably have a hard time staying open because of the higher taxes. As we talked about that in class, if some one hears that one business is going to change to a different material supplier they will pull out their stock if they do not like that place. After that more people will find out and pull their stock out then the business goes way under.

Prices on everything will go up. People will not be able to continue to buy the things they are used to. Everyone will stay home and stop going places. As well as stop spending money. When people stay home and stop spending money, the businesses they go to will close. Those businesses will have to let their employees go. Then the employees without jobs will not be able to keep their homes. The bank will take their homes back and own a bunch of homes that are not worth what the people owe on them.

Interview!

From the interviews I have learned that to become a teacher the schooling would take around 4 to 6 years to get the degrees I need. The people I interviewed shared a lot of the same favorite things about teaching. One thing is for sure is that the grading and the paper work does not sound fun. Another important trait to have is to be flexible, if I teach when I an older, I would definitely think that would be true.
They said in some cases, it is helpful to know a foreign language. I agree with them because first, I could teach the class how to speak it and second it would be fun to know how to speak a foreign language. As a student, I really enjoy learning when it is fun. If I were a teacher I would for sure want to have some fun learning games.

Our Government

Our government is one of a kind. We are blessed to live in a free country. A country founded by beliefs that our citizens should write and enforce the laws that rule our nation. This has made our government closely watched by the whole world.
I believe this is a good and a bad thing. Good, because of the examples we can set by what happens when a country is moral and follows God. Bad, because of many of the freedoms we have do not honor God or the morals that our country was started with.
Many of our citizens have moved away from using morals as a foundation to choose the right person to vote for. There is an important election coming. If I were allowed to vote, I would vote in a way that would agree with my beliefs and honor God. I believe this is the only way that America will remain one of the greatest countries in the world.
