My Finances

DAY 3

Reflection: December 9, 2011. DAY 3

Today, I finally brought my flour baby to school. I was absent on Wednesday, so I didn't get any of the worksheets. I think I'm finally caught up with everyone else. My baby is premature. Today, we found out our level of education. Turns out, all I have is a high school diploma. I only make $626 a week. That's not nearly as much as I'd like for my salary to be. The total cost for my baby is $231, 170 until she's 18 years old. I only make $30, 048 a year. The total cost of food alone is $1,120. I don't make enough money in order to support my child. With only a high school diploma, I cannot buy everything that I want and need for my child.

Barbiturates

The drug that I chose is called Barbiturates. It's known as a Downer. It was designed to make you sleep. However, that is not the only thing it does, overdoses can cause staggering. Also, it can help treat anxiety. I did not find any statistics to include in my project, but I did include facts about the drug. For example, I mentioned how taking this drug slows down your central nervous system. That is how it makes you sleepy.

Homework- Story

Rick and Monica were in their 30's and had 2 kids. Everything was going their way, until Rick started smoking. At work, he would encounter carbon monoxide. This effected his mind and body. Not only did he start smoking, but he also had trouble breathing. Monica was a nurse, and she knew that carcinogen can cause cancer. She didn't want this to happen to her husband. Her own dad was diagnosed with emphysema, so she knew she couldn't let her husband have the same problems. To prevent this, she took Rick to the doctor's office. Sure enough, there were signs of leukoplakia in his body. Monica was devastated. She knew she had to do something. She had to get Rick to stop inhaling nicotine into his body. The doctor suggested a nicotine patch. Monica gladly agreed and immediately bought some for him. He stopped smoking, but the problem at work didn't help. He constantly inhaled second hand smoke from his friends. He asked his friends to stop, and suprisingly they agreed. Then they started using snuff. Rick couldn't resist the temptation, and tried some. After a couple of minutes, he got tar on his skin. He went home, where Monica examined it. The mark wasn't severe, but she was still angry. When he told her that he tried tobacco, she was furious. "When will he learn his lesson?" she constantly thought.
