All of the different triangular shpes and jagged edges allow the building to standout and be greatly admired by viewers. The floor is paved with heat conductive limestone. Other features includes rain collected from the roof in water tanks to be used in the cooling system as well as to irrigate plants. The creativity does not stop there, the water collected even goes toward a water sculpture in the main lobby. Architecture interests me on it's own but the new and innovative ways to make buildings more environmentally friendly is quite intriguing. This tower was the first LEED gold skyscraper in NYC and 85% of the steel is made from recycled material.]]> 2017-09-06 13:00:47 UTC https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185091528 c_hines5 https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185101416 https://stockfuse.com/
Stockfuse is an amazing resource if you are just about to start investing. Stockfuse is an app that allows you to be given fake money and let's you test investing strategies and see how these decisions would play out in real life. Let's say you start with a thousand dollars. Then start googling different stocks and see what is going up and down through looking at different trends. For instance seeing if the company Amazon is up or down during which months in order to successfully buy low and sell high. Go into the app and type in the ticker symbol for Amazon. It will tell you the  price per share in real time. You can then buy let's say 10 shares at about $900 a share. The app will give you real time information showing how far up or down the stock is at any given time.  The app opens at 9:30 and ends at 4:00 just like the actual stock market. I get so excited when I see my investment going up and I can't wait to set up my own brokerage account in the near future.]]> 2017-09-06 13:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185101416 c_hines5 https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185101660 Investopedia will teach you everything there is to know about the stock market. I learned the  principle concept buy low and sell high. I immediately wanted to get my own brokerage account and start investing. What many people don't know about me is that I have a small wooden box with all of my money in it. It hit me one day this money isn't accumulating any interest. Why not take this money and make more of it? ]]> 2017-09-06 13:23:16 UTC https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185101660 c_hines5 https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185101721 Start investing at a young age. One of my dreams like many others is to make a lot of money. My advice is to start early. Of course there is risk but there is also reward. I became interested in stocks about a year ago but my passion grew when I met a student at the Intensive Law and Trial Program at Stanford University. This student was given $1,000 from his dad to start investing in ninth grade. He proceed to tell me how he started his own club teaching other student to invest. Of course I was skeptical, until he showed me his account and he made $70,000 in one year and I was sold. How do I start?]]> 2017-09-06 13:23:28 UTC https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185101721 c_hines5 https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185120735 2017-09-06 13:57:13 UTC https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185120735 c_hines5 https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185131187 I've been playing basketball for as long as I can remember and nothing will ever prevent me from playing. Just the feeling of rising up and making a jump shot or driving in hard to make a layup is exhilarating. The game is fast pace and there is always something to be doing whether it be on offense, defense, or just supporting the team. I was my JV and modified captain and I always have enjoyed being a leader and playing a big roll in helping out my teammates and leading them to victory.]]> 2017-09-06 14:15:57 UTC https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185131187 c_hines5 https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185260313 2017-09-06 18:13:50 UTC https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185260313 c_hines5 https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185263411 I developed my passion for basketball at a young age and I always wanted to be the best at it. Every sport I play I intend to work to excel at it. My first year of modified basketball I was so excited to try out for the team and then one week before tryouts the worst thing possible happened. I was backpedaling in gym and fell backwards on my wrists and broke both of them and was out for the entire season.]]> 2017-09-06 18:20:49 UTC https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185263411 c_hines5 https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185265850 The next year rolled around eventually and I was going to try out for the team. I was confident I would make the team but I wanted to be captain even though I knew it was unrealistic. Two other kids were named captains because they had played the previous year. This did not discourage me because I knew I was the best player on the team. So that day I went home and practiced a ton. Four games into the season I was made a third captain after getting 20 points and 17 rebounds in one game. Coach came into the locker room and named me a captain in front of everyone and that was the best sports experience I have ever had. Even when the odds are stacked against you there is always success in the end as long as you never give up.]]> 2017-09-06 18:25:33 UTC https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185265850 c_hines5 https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185278546

Some of my favorite players are Kristaps Porzingis and Carmelo Anthony. These are the stars on the team and both play a forward just like myself. I aspire to play as well as they do, leading the knicks in scoring.]]> 2017-09-06 19:00:02 UTC https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185282002 c_hines5 https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185287402 I have always been passionate about law and business. Being a lawyer has always been one of my top career choices just becasue I love the idea of standing in front of judge and arguing my case in an effort to make sure justice is served.]]> 2017-09-06 19:14:23 UTC https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185287402 c_hines5 https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185289164 I went to the Intensive Law and Trial Program at Stanford this past summer where my passion for law grew even more. I got to stay in Stanford dorms with many bright young kids whom I learned a ton from. I had Stanford law teachers giving us lessons on anything from opening and closing statements to objections and court room decorum. I was given all of the affidavits and depositions in order to study the case we were given. I was assigned the roll of a defense lawyer and had to give the the pre-trial as well as my cross and direct examinations at the San Francisco Superior Courthouse in which the defense won the case. This was by far the best experience of my life and solidified my future career.]]> 2017-09-06 19:18:29 UTC https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185289164 c_hines5 https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185298148 2017-09-06 19:39:53 UTC https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185298148 c_hines5 https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185298381 2017-09-06 19:40:44 UTC https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185298381 c_hines5 https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185299355 2017-09-06 19:44:08 UTC https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185299355 c_hines5 https://padlet.com/c_hines5/dep30421ynqa/wish/185299820 I have been to Columbia University and it is a beautiful campus with great opportunities. This program combines both of my interests, law and  business. Columbia Business School is ranked 7th in the country and Columbia Law School is ranked 5th. Very successful people have come out of the Columbia including former president Barack Obama.

A large majority end up borrowing money from their parents and getting student loans that build and build with no way of actually being able to afford it. Ninety three percent of Americans believe that high school students should be required to take at least one financial education class. The problem is that most people don't realize they need to start investing until it is too late and they are already in debt.
