My First Day as a Parent

  1. In the "If I Became a Teen Parent" assignment, did the response you received from your parent/guardian surprise you?  Discuss.
    • Not really, I've always known that my mom would be there for me, no matter how I messed up or what choices I've made to the best of her ability
  2. What responses to the flour baby project surprised you? 
    • When I went into a thrift shop to get my flour baby some clothes the day before the project, the cashier was looking at me strange. When I explained that I was in to get some clothes for a flour baby project a school she said "O good, I thought you were a teenage mom." Also, my dad's side of my family seem very distressed that I'm walking around with a fake baby, and that it's not really bothering me.
  3. In what ways should we have started this project differently? 
    • The only thing I wish we would have had is a "baby decoration day, which I guess we had in a way, but I thought the first day we brought our babies in, we were supposed to have everything ready. 
  4. What was the most surprising about the "Baby Costs" project?
    • The cost of formula, I had no idea how much it would cost, and how much a baby needed, because everyone in my family has always done breastfeeding.

Questions from Griff

  1. What do you still want to learn in Life Skills and Personal Finance this year?  
    • There isn't really anything else that I can think of that I want to learn this year.
  2. What recommendations do you have for next year?  
    • Keep doing what you've been doing. I enjoyed most of the lessons (typing excluded) and I think that everything I learned in this class will be useful to me.
  3. Which sections should we cover that we didn't cover this year? 
    1.  Maybe do some time management stuff. I know I really used to have a hard time, and sometimes still do, effectively using my time. 
  4. Which sections that we covered should we skip [or change] next year?
    1. Again the only section I really disliked was the typing, however I recognize that it's important to have a typing score.
  5. How could this class be better next year?
    1. Have less people in the class that don't care, but I know that isn't your fault. :)
