1. THE GIFT OF WORK

1. My own work:

1. My job was to sell my chocobananos and fruits (strawberries and pineapples) with chocolate at a garage sale.
2. My responsibility was to give the exact quantity of my products to my customers. Also, make the mathematics to charge them, and give people the correct change.
3. I spent a whole weekend preparing the fruits with chocolate, the bags where I had to put them at selling, the list of prices, and the cash.
4. What I learned about this experience is that every effort that you make is worth it at the end. The big sacrifice that I had to make (preparing all the stuff and not going out with my friends) had its recompense. I felt very happy to have money in my wallet. Also, I knew a lot of people that liked the fruit with chocolate and congratulate me about it.
5. This unforgettable experience will help me to be more prepared at selling: doing more chocobananos and having much more cash. If a future work does not require selling something, now I know that the attitude is what counts. Now I am more positive, and I am well-prepared to any physical or mental challenge.

1. My future job:

1. In the future, I want to be a physician, with my own clinic.
2. In order to do this job effectively, I will have to study at the university and specializing in the area where I want go deeper. I will have to learn how to diagnostic the illnesses, how to operate, etc.
3. Taking this job I should feel satisfied because I will have accomplish my dream to help directly the people. Also, I should feel important because of the job I do.

1. THE GIFT OF MONEY

1. Questions:

1. Jason learns
2. He feels very happy because his money helped a person who really needed it at that time, a person that without that money her daughter could have died.
3. I have walked by homeless people. If they ask for money, I give them, only if I see that they need my help.  If I have extra food or clothing, I give it to them and smile saying: “Have a nice day; I hope this food/clothing could be useful to you!” Once, I helped a poor woman (who was drunk and dirty) who fall on the street, nobody in the street (that was full of cars and people walking) helped her. I said to my mom: “Stop! That woman fell down and she is trying to get out of the hole and she can’t”. So my mom parked the car and putted the emergency lights and I went out of the car. When I saw her, neither her smell nor dirtiness were perceived or seen by me. I helped her, and she was very thankful of that action that I did. Because of the traffic, my mom and I stayed there for a couple of minutes, and that woman went to the car to thank us. When the line of cars was passing, she waved her hand until we cross the corner of the street.
4. If you have a lot of money, you can buy things that people may need. This only happens if you have a good heart and you notice the necessities of others. However, too many money may mean buying (necessary or unnecessary) things only for you. Also, being very wealthy could make you think that money is the only important thing that matters in life. You may not pay attention to feelings or/and family.
5. It shows you that your attitude is what counts. That a smile can improve that situation. Going to a financial struggle makes you be thankful of every little thing that happens in your life (good or bad). It teaches you that God is with you and he never leaves us. It shows you who your real friends are. It shows you that your family never leaves you. It makes you stronger at any adversity that may happen in the future. It makes you have your feet on the ground; it makes you reorganize your priorities. It molds your character, it makes you growth. Besides this, it is very difficult to sleep at nights, always worrying about the debts and things that miss in your home. There is a feeling that especially the parents experiment: is the feeling of not being enough good to give money to your family. They experiment frustration, and impotence.
6. If I had a lot of money, I plan to divide it in two (one part for me and one part for other people); first: I would pay all my mom’s debts and I would pay all my studies. I would pay my mom’s debts first because I want to see her relief and happy. And I will pay my studies because I know that investing on me is something really important. On the other hand, I would give many supplies to the shelters and help the people I know is needed. If more money is left, I would invest it in shares.

1. THE GIFT OF FRIENDS

1. Group discussion:

1. Qualities of friendship: loyalty, sincerity, kindness, honesty, respect, and respect.
2. It is more important to have a few good friends because that friendship will not end. A real friend will be a like a brother or sister, will be part of your family.
3. A friend does not have to be physically similar to you. But you must share almost the same points of view, values, activities, character, etc. It does not matter the gender, age, skin color, etc.
4. I expect to my friend to help me when I am in trouble, to be with me in good and bad moments, to study and go to parties together, to treat me with respect, friends that appreciate my friendship.
5. The challenges of making new friends are: do not criticize their appearance or way of behaving at the first second and respecting their points of view.
