An example of something I spent lots of time learning about is Trig. Trigonometry at first was very challenging, however as I got help from peers and Ms. Rands I understood the math concept and was able to overcome the challenge.
To celebrate an accomplishment such as getting 100% on my trigonometry test I do not celebrate it much. I celebrate it for 5 minutes however after those 5 minutes, I resume my day and focus on other things. It lifts my mood and also makes me more confident but I do not get out of my way to celebrate it.
When I am sad, angry, or frustrated I listen to music. It helps me calm down which in return allows me to be productive.
Some of the ways I work to build and maintain relationships are by simply talking to them. I talk to the about whatever one wants. I also maintain relationships by hanging out with the person and doing activities that make everyone laugh.
Physical Education with Dave Ruzyzcki was an excellent semester. He is my favourite teacher. He taught me a lot about how to succeed in life and what trust and integrity. Mr. Ruzycki once talked about the emotional bank, and he showed me that life is not all about taking and it is also about giving back. The things he taught me about relationships will last a lifetime. I truly enjoyed the time in his class and I will continue to use the lessons he taught us in life.
One invests all the 80,000 into stocks. If the stocks does not decline one will have 131,690. Throughout the 3 year investment 10,000 is being added every year. The average growth percentage is 7.5%. However the average decline is 6.9%
Stocks
(No decline 7.5%)
Year 1
80000x(1.075)= 8600+1000= 96000
Year 2
96000x(1.07)= 103200+10000=113200
Year 3
113200x(1.075)=121690=10000=131690
Total
131690
This is the calculations of a full 3 year investment into stocks with no decline.
This is the stock with decline. One can notice that they are 5,000 short due to the 6.9% decline.
Stocks
(With decline 6.9%)
Year 1
80000x(1.075)= 8600+1000= 96000
Year 2
96,000x(1.07)= 103200+10,000=113,200
Year 3
113200x(0.931)=105,389.2+10,000=115389.2

This is a Visual representation of the two stocks being compared on a graph. It shows the money lost in the 3 year.
Justification
Investing in stocks is always risky however it has huge upside potential. If the stocks are invested in the correct companies and at the right time one could surpass there 120,000 dollar goal. Even though there is a chance to have a decline of 6.9% it would only happen if there is another economic crisis. Remember there will always be a risk in stocks however its potential tops every other investment strategy.
3 Year G.I.C Calculations
An investment of all 80,000 dollars plus the 30,000 of savings one can meet the goal with no money leftover and no risk.
3 Year GIC (4.2%)
Year 1
83600
Year 2
86861.12
Year 3
90509.28
Total
120509.28
When one invests in a 3 year GIC the total of the 3 year is 91293 however one has 30000 dollars in savings so when added on top. It equals to 121293 dollars. That is One thousand dollars over the goal with some money left over. Also there is no risk, and one cannot lose there money.
This is a visual of the stocks compared with the 3 year GIC. As one can see the GIC( Grey line) surpass the 120,000 dollar goal( Red line).
Justification
Doing the 3 year GIC is the safest option. There is no risk, however one cannot withdraw money from the account until the 3 year period is over. If one person want to have the least risk and barely make the goal they can choose the GIC. However if one is more risky and want more money on the side stocks is the way to go. Personally I would go with the stocks because I have the potential to walkout with 10,000 dollars extra. I choose stocks because it gives me extra money. With that extra money I can use it to pay mortgage or to buy appliances for the house. Even though I can walk away with only 115,000 ( below the goal) I would still risk the money for the extra 10,000.
Colaboration
Personally I would rate my ability to work with my group a 4/4 because I was able to explain my ideas and also include other ideas as well. Furthermore I found working with my group helped find the solution for this problem. Everyone in my group had assigned jobs and our group worked in unison. I did use our groups solution with the stocks because I found it had the best outcome even with the risks. I contributed to the group by giving ideas and I was the person with the calculator doing the math. The two other people were writing the ideas down or coming up with them. Overall I feel that I worked well with my group and I would do it again.

What The Project Is About The mousetrap car project adjective was to have the fastest and farthest car. The point of the car was to make it fast for 15 feet and then see how far it could travel. The project was meant to test your critical thinking skills and your problem solving skills.DESGINIG: My initial idea was to have a fairly heavy car to help battle the wheels spinning out. I also thought that on the rear axel I could attach a cylinder which acts like a transmission. However the transmission was not able to use its full potential due to the cars weight. Thus I swapped the frame for an alternative frame which was lighter. On the first test with the new frame I encountered that the car was too light for the transmission and the wheels would spin out and lose almost all its energy. Not to mention the fishing line would not release from the ziptie, causing to catch the car and make it go backwards. I then removed metal axles and the makeshift transmission and swapped it with small lighter kebob skewers. I found that the cars axel span for longer in the air and it felt fairly lighter. However I ran into another and that was that not all the wheels were touching the ground and that makes the car lose more energy and swerve to the right. I was able to fix that problem by using red washers. Those red washer helped balance the car out. After that problem was fixed the mousetrap car was ready.HOW IT WENT: My car traveled 38 feet and made it too 15 feet in 6 seconds. I feel that may car could have went farther. I found during the first try it kept swerving right, so I countered that by aiming the car more to the left. Thee car would eventually turn left yet it would take a longer time for it to turn. Personally I am disappointed in how it overall went and I know next time what to fix and what to keep.

When it seems the good ideas just won’t come to me, I put my AirPods in a listen to music. This helps calm me and allows my brain to take a break and recharge. It allows me to clear my head and when I go back to come up with ideas I approach it from a different perspective than before. Listening to music helps me take a break and it relaxes me.Describe one of your learning goals. One of my learning goals is to get above 80% in all of my classes. Even the math and science honours. I feel that if I constantly study and focus in class this goal will be achievable. I will track my grades by the results of my tests. If I do badly on one test I must make it up on the next. This goal can be obtained if I don’t give up and stop trying.How do you learn best? I learn the best when it involves hands-on activities. I struggle to learn when it is just sitting down the whole class and doing stuff from the textbook. I learn the best when I use whiteboards or am up and moving. For me, the best way to learn is through interactive work. Whether it is working in groups or with whiteboards I feel that is when I learn the best and the most.
