Worst Stock Market Crashes in US History
Stock market crashes happen surprisingly often throughout the US history. Since they're so unanticipated, it can happen at any minute now. What a stock market crash is a sudden dramatic decline of stock prices that’s across an important cross-section of a stock market. With this, it ends up in an intense loss of paper wealth. Crashes can also occur through disastrous events, an economic crisis, or a collapse from a long-term bubble. But the real reason for the crash is because of the public panic.

Elementary School's Most Wanted
I wasn't a problematic kid. I didn't talk back to my teachers. I didn't vandalize the school on weekends. But I also wasn't a prodigy. I'm not “gifted.” I was pretty much your average kid with average grades. Except I had a pathetic quota of friends and I had a tough time communicating with new people. But I was still an angelic child, until one afternoon in second grade, when I became a juvenile delinquent. One day, we had show and tell and someone brought in a Do It Yourself – Diary Of a Wimpy Kid book. My small, underdeveloped, seven year old brain decided that I craved it. I “couldn't live without it.” Except, I didn't want to just have my parents purchase me my own, like anyone else with common sense would do. I desired his, no exceptions.

Being a Goal Getter
I've always dreamed about running my own business and being my own boss. When I was a little girl, the other kids my age wanted to be nurses, fashion designers, and one even wanted to be a cowgirl, but not me. No, I had my change purse full of Monopoly money, my coffee cup filled up with some type of imaginary caffeinated beverage, and my clipboard handy, complete with pink glitter pen that my grandpa gave me. I was going to take over the world by storm.

The Most Important Class in School
The Main Issue With Scheduling One of the most difficult and annoying things about any new semester, or year, at school is figuring out your schedule. If you're in high school, you're probably trying to avoid overloading yourself with too many difficult classes. Many would never dare AP Calculus and AP Physics in the same semester, but many others wouldn't have it any other way. If you're already in college, you likely don't want a repeat of freshman year, where all of your classes are uninteresting. This leads to the question: What are the best classes to take?

How to Survive College
1) Buy a planner and/or a calendar!!! These are two life savers when trying to balance college, work, and a social life. Some people like to just go with the flow, but sometimes that method doesn’t bring success. When you’ve got five to seven exams and homework assignments on top of studying for those exams, you will then be so grateful that you’re organized. Let’s not forget your work schedule on top of the college studies.

How I Found Out I Had a Learning Disability
All my life, I thought I was normal. I thought I was just like everyone else, when in fact, I was not. I was different. I processed things differently than my peers. It took me longer to remember things, and to repeat back instructions. I was held back a grade without really understanding why, except that I needed to improve my social skills. I was always put in front of the class room for lectures, and always sat at a certain side of the room. I always mistook the word a friend said to a word I thought they said. I'd repeated back sentences that didn't make sense out loud to the person in front of me, which in return, they always gave me quizzical looks. Sometimes they'd laugh and say, "Noo! That's not what I said at all!" I always had to ask, "What? Huh? Can you repeat that?" many times within a lecture or story being told. I got frustrated not knowing what's going on and why I always felt different than everyone around me.
