Day 16: September 25th 2008:

Today I had an early dismissal from school to go to
a meeting with my mentor, I met soooo many important
people today, but definitely the most helpful would have
been a gentleman by the name of Curtis Randle El.
He works with stocks and is very intelligent when it comes to
that. AND!! he's the older brother of EX Steeler Antwaan Randle El .
I got his business card and I will definitely keep in touch with him to
guide me throughout my senior project.

Day 15: September 24th 2008:

Today I did some back tracking, but made a lot of progress.I had a brief discussion with Mr. McMeekin about what I should do,he had some good ideas. Next, sat down with Mrs. Savido and spoke about stocks and some possible projects. I think I would like to do some research on the hitstory of stocks, figure the safest investments now,and how teachers with a 403B should invest. I also added to my key terms and Resource list, I found a really helpful page with almost everything you need to know about stocks before you teach the method of investing.
