I think that by the time I am 100 I will been incredibly wise and experience with life. I would pass down all my gardening knowledge and recycling knowledge as an attempt to help keep the earth green and healthy.

I would like to inform more people about a situation like this and try to find a way to prepare for a situation like this. I think I can also link this to… Continue

As a child my father collected bills and coins from different countries. I decided to use these bills to experiment with different currencies and exchange rates. I had my friend calculate different exchange rates and we then compared the different values of currencies. We found that it was hard since there were so many different currencies. We decided that maybe it would bee easier is we all had once currency. We did realize though that this might cause conflict as well. Overall I thought this… Continue

I plan to try and raise 100 dollars to give to this organization ---> Change the Lives of 650 Women in Crisis.

I will spread then word about how this money will help. People don't always realize how lucky they are to live in a nice home not having to worry about if your are going to be beaten or hurt by someone you love. This organization help women get custody… Continue

While looking at the 100 global giving project one stood out to me. It is called Change the Lives of 650 Women in Crisis. I think having a safe place to live and not worrying about abuse is very important.

I believe in 2020 women will have an even bigger part in everyday society. We will seen more women in high level business jobs, more woman doctors and lawyers.… Continue
