During the past couple months I have learned a lot about stocks. Like what to invest in, how to record the money I have lost or gained, what a stock actually is, how to buy a stock, how to sell a stock, how many shares I should buy on a certain stock, what a share is, and a lot more. I feel like I’ve learned so much and am ready to buy an actual stock! I know I still have a lot more to learn about stocks, shares, and bonds, but for now I’ll settle for what I know.

The companies I selected for my portfolio are Macy’s Inc. Nike Inc. and McDonald’s corp. The companies I have selected all have one thing in common: I know and have been to them all. The reason I picked Macy’s for one of my stocks was because I’ve been and shopped there. I’ve heard about it and I know about it. Also, I was interested on how they were doing and I thought it was going to be a good time to invest because of the holidays. The reason I picked Nike for one of my stocks was because I love Nike! I’ve been to it and all my shoes are Nike. I really wanted to know how they were doing and why they were going down, if Nike wasn’t doing well. Finally, the reason I picked McDonald’s was because I’ve eaten there and seen a lot of people eat there too. I wanted to know how popular it was, to see if the stock was going up. I also wanted to know-since all of the commercials- how they were doing.

Now that I’ve researched my stocks and watched the stock market, here were a couple of things I would have changed about my stocks. For Macy’s: I would have invested less because during the holidays- especially Christmas- but it fell afterward. If I invested less I wouldn’t have lost so much. For Nike: I would have invested more because Nike did really well all the way. If I invested more in the stock, I would have made more money. For McDonalds: I wouldn’t have changed anything because it stayed to a steady pace. I did well with it until the end when it lost money.

My advice to people who are interested in investing in the stock market is to invest and choose wisely. My advice for Macy’s is that I wouldn’t buy it if you think it would be high on a holiday. If I heard this advice before I wouldn’t have chosen Macy’s, because I did invest in this stock for that reason. My advice for Nike is to view all your options. I give this advice because, for me, I didn’t view all my options such as the graph on how the stock has done during the month. It would have given me a chance to see if I wanted to invest in this and how much I would have wanted to invested in it. My advice for McDonald’s is that I wouldn’t have done it. Although I wouldn’t have changed anything I did, it was just nerve wrecking when the stock just kept going down.

I’ve had a fun time doing this Stock Market Project and I would definitely remember it if I was ever going to buy a stock in real life. I think this was a good experience and a stressful one at that as well. It was fun to see how much your stock has gain, but the total opposite to see how much your stock has lost. For me, I know I could have done better, but it was a fun time.

Fluffy, white, delicate small pieces of unique shapes and sizes. They're cold when they melt on your tongue and fall from the sky so dainty. How they make it to the ground and completely cover it like a white blanket of crystallizing water. Snow is utterly unique and different from anything I've ever seen.

Before the Storm: The sky quickly fills with gray, thick clouds. All of nature is silent. It is cool outside, colder than normal. A breeze picks up, but slowly dies out. Everything is gray while the sun is struggling to break through the big, gray clouds that cover the sky as far as the eye can see. Soon a strong wind will pick up and the first bits of white start falling down from the clouds.

During the Storm: As the white flakes fall down most struggle to stick to the ground. Bigger and bigger chunks of white starts to fall down making a light blanket over the grass and trees. Faster and faster snow from all different shapes and sizes start falling down. The wind picks up rapidly and the first storm begins. The howling of the wind while the snow falls rapidly and in a steady space is breathtaking. It is a beautiful scene, but not as beautiful of what the storm leaves behind.

After the Storm: A white blanket covers all of the land. Sparkling snow and extremely delicate. One touch into the snow and its marked for good. It is cold all around and everybody is stuck in their homes from the heavy, sticky snow waiting for the snow plowers. Snow plowers are a car with a giant scoop on the front of it. It picks up all the snow and places it in the corner of your house. That way you will be able to walk outside of your house and drive your car.

This is a picture that I made for Language Arts class. We were to pick a root word and draw a picture explaining that we understood it. I had mark which means sign, so i decided to draw a thumb tack "marking" a random place, my random place was Dallas.

This picture is what I did in Art class, my teacher wanted us to take a picture of use hiding in the art room. I enjoyed this because it brought out my creativity and gave me so many options to hide. I decided to carry a paint brush that was too big for me. :)

You may find this picture confusing so let me explain it. The eye brow, lashes, and lids are for protection. It keeps away all the dirt and other things that may harm the eye. The iris is the colored part of your eye. It is just like your finger print, it is very unique and no one else has the color you do. It open and closes the pupil and descides whether how much light you want to see. The pupil is the one that lets you see light. The schlera is the white part in your eye and it screens light. Finally the cornea is the lump that when your eyesand move them thats the lump. If you damage it you can go blind.
