If I were a billionaire, I’d donate charity too The Innocence Project. The Innocence Project fights for justice by re-examining cold case with new DNA evidence and freeing those who are wrongly convicted (Jenna Davis). I chose this charity to give money too because there is a real purpose. They’re helping those who are wrongly convicted. There needs to be a voice for those who are put in circumstances that they themselves didn’t put their selves in. As long as i’m seeing change actually happen in this charity, then i’ll be donating as much money as I can. Also, I want to be a lawyer when I grow up and help defend those who can’t defend their selves.

Jeffrey Preston Bezos is an American entrepreneur who is responsible for the growth of Amazon. He is the founder and chief executive officer of Amazon.com, Inc. Working out of his garage with a handful of workers, Bezos began developing the software for the site. Named after the South American river, Amazon sold its first book in July 1995 (britannica.com). He deserves the wealth. He put the effort in to make Amazon, which he started in his garage. As long as he didn’t cheat his way into success then he earned his wealth.

I want to have a career in the WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association). I want to play professional basketball for a career. I love the sport. I love playing the sport. There’s nothing I’d rather do for a living than doing something. That’s what drives me. The love for the sport insides me, drives me to want to play it for a profession. For a back up, I want to be a lawyer. What drives me is the incentive of black people not being able to defend their selves. A study of the New York County district attorney’s office (DANY) found black defendants 19% more likely to offer plea deals that have prison time than white defendants (Yolanda Young). Black people need to be seen past their crime, and past their color of skin. They deserve a fair trail and I want to be a public defender and help those who need it.

Everyone should at least have a simple knowledge of economics. Especially supply and demand. Without having simple knowledge it may cost you a good penny for certain things. Also, having knowledge of economics will help you save more and understand when prices rise for certain things. Having knowledge of economics will help you outsmart the suppliers. For example: if you buy your clothes for the opposite season, you can take advantage of decreased demand (Shawn McIntrye). Meaning the price will be lower if you buy summer clothes in winter than if you buy summer clothes in the summer.

Nike is the most successful sports makers in the world. They sell so many things from shoes to hoodies, to socks. They sell their merchandise worldwide, all over the globe which is why they’re very well known. In the last quarter, Nike Inc. had earned 5.7 billion dollars in revenue and earned a dollar per share (Janelle McCalla). Nike sales increase from 25-30% per year in China (Janelle McCalla).

Markets impact my life in a huge way. When I went to the movies yesterday the tickets cost $14. That’s expensive. When a lot of people are buying a lot of something, the price racks up. As a consumer, I buy a lot of things. I buy snacks, clothes, a lot of shoes, and toiletries. I just spent $60 on my school shoes. This shows that markets impact my life in a huge way. If a market is advertising something I want, I will buy it. I won’t even think twice sometimes about the money being spent. Markets make my pockets empty.

Economics is the branch of knowledge concerned with the production, consumption, and transfer of wealth. The role I play in my economy is being a consumer. Consumers demand goods and services. This makes it so that people can have jobs making the goods that consumers want (enotes). Also, I had a job over the summer at a carnival.

The purpose of the military is to defend the society. An economic incentive for people joining the army is a veteran discount. Also, the army will pay for your housing, schooling and so much more. There are multiple benefits that the army has to offer.

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
