Interdisciplinary Post (ID)

          In my Banking and Finance class we had to develop a budget for a full time college student. We basically had to fit a budget depending on the scenario my partner and I was given. The scenario was how she has a part time school-aid job at Thurgood Marshall Academy. My partner and I had to find a budget for her because she has many desires. The main important part of this budget is she wanted to find her own place to live because her parents weren't supporting her anymore. We had to go against each other first and present this in front of judges so we can go to the next round which is to present this in front of the regional judges. So we basically had to go against each other, and who ever won goes to the next round and goes against the other boroughs from Capital One. When the day came to present it was so nerve racking. My partner chooses for us two to go first which even got me more nervous. She said she decided to go first because "she wanted to get it over with." So I just went with it; it was time for us to start presenting. We introduced ourselves to the judges then we finally started. As the slides were changes I kept on forgetting what I was going to say. I guess I was too nervous to actually remember. Good thing I had my flash cards with me so that saved me from looking stuck, and sound like I'm saying something complexly different.  We finally finished presenting and sadly my partner and I lost. Even though we lost I still felt like a winner!
