since you are HS senors, you all can get part time jobs on weekdays, and full time on weekends, (at restaurants, because you can get tips) Also consider the accommodations at hotels, food, and souvenirs, you also may want to spend some time in the summer to get full time jobs for a few weeks to save money. Tutoring also can make you up to $50.00 an hour!!
23 :
Well I'm raising money to go on a trip and my friends and I are having a car wash in our school's parking lot...just an idea....oh also you could also have a gold party! theyre super fun and basically you find a company that does this (they do it to raise $$) and you have your mom invite friends. The friends bring their old gold jewelry and get the gold exchanged for money. Then the host (you) gets 10% .....our friends had one for their adoption and she got over 700$ from just 20 somethin people comin....good luck! and have fun...
24 :
I'm currently raising money to go on a class trip to China in a few months and i would definitely NOT recommend selling any kind of candy. It takes a lot of work and you do not receive a lot of the profit. I would have a jewelry sale or something like that at home. You can buy nice jewelry for cheap prices from wholesalers or at gift shows, then sell them for their retail value (usually around twice the wholesale price- or more!) You could also send letters to local business owners or family asking for donations. Hope that helps!
25 :
1)saving money you would usually spend on cinema,snacks ect. 2)selling old clothes,game consoles ect. 3)car washing 4)get a part time job/work extra hours
26 :
What are your hobbies; cooking, writing, pets, children, etc. Try to do what you know or think you can do good at. Then tell your friends to do the same. All three of you can save up money and use the potluck system. All chip in and use it evenly on transportation and somewhere to rest. You only have like 2 months so start within the week. Get a job(other than fastfood or cashier). Try to join some freelance(you write stories so you don't go into work, you work at your own pace.) job along with chores. Go around and try to book all your weekends with odd-jobs. It may be very tedious and boring, but it all pays off in the end. Never go with instant gratification(going out on the weekends). P.S. My family is native to South Korea, your going to love it.

I understand that freedom isn't free but what does our freedom have to do with occupying other nations?
I understand that freedom isn't free but what does our freedom have to do with occupying other nations?
I hear people say this and I agree but they apply it to our occupation of other nations. Germany isn't a threat I don't know why we are there. The Korean problem was never our business and I have no idea why we have troops protecting South Korea. Poland, Greece, whereever else we have military bases makes no sense and does not apply to our freedom at all. If anything the money we shell out each year to police the world is robbing us of our money, our freedom, and our image across the world. Shovel ready our enemies are our enemies because of our foreign policy. That is why we are attacked by terrorists and why we have enemies. I am not saying these people should be that way to us but they are that way. It is the truth and I know the truth hurts, maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle with a missing seat but it hurts nonetheless.

Look all they have to do is tell us to remove our bases Thailand told us to remove all five of our military bases in 1975 and we did however in a few month Vietnam invaded Cambodia and they beg us to come back The Philippines told us to remove our bases and we did but of course we are back in there

1) Germany is not under occupation. The occupation ended a long time ago and the Government of Germany runs the place. US forces in Germany are there from the days of NATO when the USSR was a threat to our freedom. Today they are being drawn down. There is only a fraction of the troops there that used to be there and I just read in the paper this week that there are plans to reduce them more. 2) Korea is our problem We allowed for the country to be invaded after WWII and we are still under the UN mandate to fight the war. South Korea is one of our biggest trading partners as is Japan. 3) World affairs do apply to our freedom. Isolationism just means the rest of the world gets all the stuff you get to play with like that computer you typed this on. Oil was used to make that computer. I bet there are some parts made in Korea or Japan in that computer. 4) It is much cheaper to prevent a war then to wait for it to spill over into our interests and play catch up. People initially said the same things about WWI and WWII, but it was a matter of time before we got drawn in. 5) We would still be attacked no matter what we do. We are condemned when we do respond to something, and we are condemned when we don't respond... for example Somalia we responded and were condemned and Rwanda we didn't respond and were condemned. The rest of the world does not think with the same US/European mindset you have. They will hold a grudge over you doing something or if you ignore them. I know that hurts but its the truth. +++ Somolia is a great example of what happens when a stabilizing presense just leave. Somolia collapsed, we tried to stabiliez it and were condemened for it. We left, we were condemened again for not helping later. We let all go on its own merry way killing each other, and now we have pirates that are causing international problems in trade. In Mogudishu that day, we actually won that battle too. Sure it didn't go according to plan, but we still won.

Wars are usually fought over land and freedom. To capture the land you obtain the resources. Fighting for freedom is directly related to oppression. America is not oppressed so this current war has nothing to do with freedom. US occupancy is purely over land/resources. Iraq is in the top 5 as far as oil producers; Afghan is #1 as far as opium producers; others are strategic military locations 75% of which are for our good friends in the state of israel. Most of today's operations are in favor of the state of israel not for america. Remember when US initially "invaded" iraq, oil was supposed to drop, it skyrocketed and remains high today. That was part of the justification to garner support to go into iraq along with finding WMDs to protect us....utter malarkey. Yes tax payers are funding a bogus mission with no long or short term benefit to americans.

Is it me, or does President Obama seem more interested to appease the global community than helping America?
Is it me, or does President Obama seem more interested to appease the global community than helping America?
With his mixed and unknown past, there is arguable evidence he is Pro-Palistine. He seems to send mixed messages to what the popular opinion is at the time to what is going on in the world, but fails to hear what Americans want and need. Failures: forcing through a health care bill, creating more government, increasing spending, not utilizing the stimulus moneys before more spending. Popular opinion: Today standing with South Korea against the sinking of their ships months later, Can't make a decision with Israel (a strong allie), backing out of strategic defense missiles to appease Russia, no strong words without action towards Iran. I would like to note, i am not siding with communism, but i see with Obama and his adminastration, that he just may be. (on most issues) Americans need to think about America, and once we fix our own issues then we should worry about the rest of the world.

He does seem to be undecided on some things. I guess he is trying to appease many factions. Hey, you are an American. Don't side with the Commies.

all you Americans ever think of is America!

Financial reform, health care reform, credit card reform. Whatever you're smoking, get me some. George Bush helped the American people by giving a 50% tax reduction to the wealthy.

look, they are proably still not adjusting, they dont realise that kids can adjust faster than adults. they dont want you to get hurt, understand that, but the only thing i can say in advice is get good grades, work hard, and talk to your parents!!!!

You've adapted very well from being respectful of your parents to being entitled and whiny. Congratulations (?) I am assuming that your parents have used their money to put a roof over your head, feed you, clothe you, keep you healthy, and support your education. They've even brought you to the "awesome US." It seems to me you should spend more of your energies being thankful for what you have than being bratty about getting something material. In the end, you'll thank your parents for this lesson as well.
