1. An experience I had that didn't went so good for me was when I was in 5th grade in san andres I found 10 thousand pesos in chair in the lobby. I felt that I was the most fortunate person in the world and I was very happy and I was so happy that my friend got jealous of me.

When I went to buy food everything was so costly and when I bought the food and ate it taste nasty and when I asked my money back the girl said that there was no return. I was mad at everybody because the money I spent wasn't worth it and the food didn't taste good.

I learned that I needed to know how to save money and how to spend it in what I liked. Also how to manage it and see prices and see the prices of stuff and see if it worth it. At the end my friend was laughing about me and then we went to the beach and I had a very great time.

2. When I was little I thought that money didn't matter in life and that every thing I got was gift. Then when I was in 5th grade and I went to San Andres and my friend and I started to go out we wanted to buy candy and eat but we didn't have much money for it. Moments later I went to my mom and asked for more and said you will have to earn it by working.

3. A tradition of my family and I is about putting beans in our pockets in new year meaning that the amount of beans you put in your pocket is the amount of money you're going to get the next year. My mother always tells me that money is not easy to get, it is earned with lots of hard work but you need to know how to take care of it.

1. one experience was when i was watching my favorite wrestling show on live in Atlanta,Georgia when i arrived there i could t believe i was watching my favorite fighters fight in the ring i almost lost all my voice because of screaming the names of the wrestlers.

2. one situation that i used money was when i was at San Andres and went to buy a burger at el corral but there was a line long like a snake tail so after waiting for 1:30 hour finally i bought my delicious burger i went to my apartment and ate it with my parents.

3. in my house money is everything because without money you would´t have nothing like food , shelter but also my parents tell me to take care of the money because to gain money you need to fight until the last drop of sweat and become more competitive.
