Yesterday was the Capital One Finacial Budget Project Competition and me and my partner Chezelle won both the local and regional competition. The road to winning was real hard. We first received this project to work on like during the summer and there was many drafts that had to be given in order to get to the regional competition. We had the scenario of a school teacher, and we had to create a budget and find a way to work them in and out of a deficit. We named him Tremaine Neverson and we had him engaged to Kiara Martian and they both live in the Bronx. The hardest part to this project is when the drafts where due. It was hard because when we would give in our drafts the feedback given about the draft was so drastic, like for example we would have to change major aspects of the project that should have been changed in the beginning of the project that my manager or myself didn't catch and it would be really annoying. Then my partner wasn't that much help to start with and because it was the beginning of the school year and the work was piling on my work on both the budget and my school work wasn't that great. Then the local competition came about and me and my partner presented and by the grace of good we won. I wasn't really that happy because it would be more work for me to do in addition to the school work I already had. My Partner agreed to help me out more and she did and she was a lot of help, and in the end all of our hard work persevered and we won.

In Statistics class I have the highest average. Having the highest average was a real shock to me because I'm not really good with math and it made me happy to have that average in a math class. Mr.Rich gives out index cards to use on test that to me is really helpful because people don't remember everything that happens and being able to write it down is a really BIG HELP. On the first test I received a 100 percent and with rejoice, I jumped up and down excited about my test grade. To prepare for this test I did all the normal stuff like finishing the review sheet Mr.Rich gave out and filling out the index card with helpful information. On the day of the test I brought a big Fiji water that was on sale for 4 dollars which made me happy because usually it way more than that. Then I made my way to school and took the test, during the test I was drinking the Fiji water and I think the water gave my brain a power up to get a 100 on the test. I don't know if it was my brain and knowledge or the Fiji water that got me the 100 but what ever it was I am grateful that I got it because it really boosted up my grade in statistics class. I was kind of worried that I would not be able to hold up to the standard of getting a 100 and I was right because the second test I got an 88 percent which I was not that excited about but I was still happy I passed the test even though it wasn't with a hundred.
