In the second unit of my Economics class, we focused on matrices, learned the history of economics, and how modern economists and economics have developed. Our class visited The Plant Chicago on a field experience to learn more about circular economies. In our class we also read Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st Century Economist by Kate Raworth. Students were paired off into groups and every group was tasked with reading, summarizing, and explaining a chapter to the class. After the presentations, we were then presented with our action project. For this project, we had to create an idea for the eighth chapter in Doughnut Economics. All though we did not have to write out a whole chapter ourselves. We were tasked with writing out the introduction/summary to the chapter that would go into the book as well as creating an image related to our idea. I hope you enjoy my project! --------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 8 Use, Reuse, Recycle, Repea...

C.H. "Need to Know." Google Slides, 2021. 4yrs at UChicago Original Loan: $281,802.00 Total Time: 60 years, I will be 82 years old Total paid: $983,212.22 2 years at Wright College then transfer to UChicago Original Loan: $126,661.72 Total time: 30 years, I will be 52 years old Total paid: $286,879.76 This AP has helped show me how important it is to get financial aid and scholarships for college to help with the college costs. I am someone who is very conscious about what I do with my money, so having to pay off a student loan for most of my adult life actually scares me. I would rather put in the hard work now and reap the benefits later in life when I am then financially stable. Both of these paths are options for me, but I highly recommend getting a scholarship and financial aid. I like setting myself up for success.
