My identity was created when my parents wrote my name on my birth certificate in 1998. Not knowing anything, my parents decided to walk away from the Hmong tradition of giving their descendant a Hmong name and wanted to become more Americanized for the better of my future. They came to the conclusion of calling me Billy, which have no affiliation with being Hmong at all, being the first in the family to walk down this path. Being borned in the United States as the youngest child in my family and being, with my four older siblings, the first generation of Hmong-American, allows me to have a different life than I would in Laos. Since my childhood, my culture is influenced by the experiences and opportunities that had shaped me as the person I

The most important tip to remember when making a long term investment in any particular stocks share or bond is to realize that stocks will have their days when they will be down so don’t get upset or shocked when your stock dips a little bit in value because there is a good possibility that if it’s a reliable stock, like one with a fairly high price and not a penny stock, it will bounce back. If you sell a stock the second you begin to see the percentage turn red, there is a very good chance that you will either receive the same amount of money you started out with and not profit at all or you will most likely lose money as a result of hastiness. Another important tip to adhere to is to avoid investing too much into so called “penny stocks.” Penny stocks are stocks that have $5 or less in value.

After completing the "I Am" activity, I feel that my self-perception is fairly accurate. Using James' definitions of "self", I feel that my spiritual self is often times overridden by my material and social self. Adding to this, I feel that I become consumed with worrying about the material things that I own and my social standing, which sometimes prevents me from expressing my spiritual self. Further, I believe that if I begin to value my spiritual self higher than my material and social self, I will start to show what I really believe in and what I truly stand for as a person, rather than using material items and popular beliefs to fit into society. Referring to Maslow's self-awareness levels on page thirty-one of the text, I feel that I

American History X is a very argumentative movie with controversial topics during the film. During the film the movie shows both sides of a many racial conflicts between African Americans and white peoples. Both groups of people during the film act the same and enjoy the same hobbies, but they just can’t get along because gang related history between the two groups. Christopher Garu feels that even though they don’t get along, they have potential to see eye to eye because they have respect for each other, but they just choose to not get along like the tension between the two. “The Nazi and the African American group could relate if they wanted too, but they can’t get over the loss of their friends caused by the gang rivalry,” (Garu, 18) I

Starting in November Accounting, I began a game called The Stock Market Game. During this game, we were given $5000 to buy 5 different stocks. I began with the strongest companies I knew of. My portfolio included Wal-Mart, Biogen, Netflix, Jack in the Box, and Adobe. These are all well-known companies, and most of them have done me well. unfortunately, some of them had a bad couple of weeks and I was forced to sell in order to get out of the negatives.

I am in Group Six along with Katherine May, Troy Kouklis, Charles Fleeman, Ekta Patel, and Ashley Park. It is different than working together in school because it is more serious. We are participating in an actual game against other schools all over California instead of working on a regular school project. So, in order to succeed, we have to really work together. I enjoyed working with the members of my team and we worked well because if we had different opinions on where to invest the money, we would try to compromise, tell each other what we thought, and try to agree on one thing.

I would rather invest in a product that is essential in a customer’s everyday life. A product consumers will still need when there is inflation, high unemployment, or recession.
