Price of Life
The price of life was a project that was created to start taking our lives more serious and realize how close college is for us . It was about choosing your life after high school . What are you going to do? Go straight to a 4 year university or go to community college? You might even roam the world to figure out who you are. These were all possibilities we had to look at but I will go into more detail. It all started by getting handed a packet and researching what were the basics of what we needed to have in order to live on our own wherever we were living . Then you needed to find out where you were going to live and so on . Depending on where you plan on living the prices either go up or down and I realized that all the little things add up. After we found out all the basics we needed, we had to make a spreadsheet that calculated all our expenses and showed our income and told us would we have a surplus of money or be in debt all by messing with one number slot. After that we had to create a write up that explained our life's plan and everything that I just talked about and how is it all going to make sense. Is it going to add up? Will you survive? What will you do? Where will you go? . After that we had to reflect on everything, what went well, what went bad and also see what we would change next. Then we turned it in and mine will be located below.

Write Up What do you want to be when you're on your own? What colleges do you want to go to? Where are you going to live? What are you going to do after college? Everyone has been asked these at least once and they are questions that most people never really cared for and put off till the last minute, but we need to realize that we have to be prepared for whatever chapter comes next in our lives . The next chapter for me is college and deciding my life and what I want to be . There is so many paths that my life could take, but in my eye all I see and want to see is success. I believe that I will see that if I follow my dreams and passions which is getting into the field of engineering. There are many different fields of engineering, but at the moment I want to focus on mechanical. This may change but I finally have some direction on what I want to be when I am older. It is a very tough job and the minimum requirement of years of college to get a job in this field is 4 and to obtain your (B.S) Bachelor's degree and where I would like to get these degree would be at Boston MIT.
