Please make sure you take a look at Schoology in my class and in your others to make sure you complete missing/incomplete assignments. 

OK, here is my last sample graduation speech.

OK, now let's talk about ten-year plans. 

Write these notes in your English notebook:

Ten-Year Plan

Where do you see yourself? 

How old are you? 

Where are you living? 

What are you doing for a living? 

How much does your life cost per month? 

Housing (rent):

utilities (water/power):

internet/cable:

food: 

phone: 

car payment:

car insurance:

gas:

student loans:

entertainment/travel:

shoes/clothing: 

savings:

childcare:

Can you afford the life you imagine?

California minimum wage is $13.00 an hour so 40 hours a week = $520 a week x 4 = $2080. $2080 x 12 = $24960
subtract taxes = 2080 - 300 = $1780

What is the average starting salary for the job you want? (Use the 90% make amount)
If you aren't sure what job you want, use Naviance. You can log on to Naviance with your Schoology sign in information. 

Naviance is a great tool for careers, colleges, and future planning. 

Keep thinking about what you want for yourself in the years to come!
