    Two things that I will most likely learn from the “Life Scenarios” portion of Banzai: Learn to manage my money, and to never spend money on unnecessary, unneeded luxuries when in debt. The “Life Scenarios” section was very informative, but I noticed that the character that was being portrayed often made poor choices with their money. One example of this is when the person went out to breakfast and spent a large amount of money when they barely had any money to spend. From this I learned that whenever I don’t have money I need to make better choices. This has shown me to also manage my money because the character most likely didn’t notice that they did not have a large enough sum of money when they spent it…

    During English class, I read a story called “ A Rupee earned” by I.F Bulatkin. When I was reading this story, the experience made me feel like I am the son in the story. In the story, the son is a very lazy person which never done the work before and doesn’t know the value of hard earned money. He was told by his father if he can earn one rupee, he can take care all of his father's inheritance. He thinks is very easy to earn one rupee. Just like me, I’ve been very lazy throughout my life.
