The One Where I Sold Raffles

When I was younger I always tried to find ways to make money. Sometimes I would sell my book on the sidewalk. Sometimes me and my friend Joelle would pick the neighbors flowers and sell them to another neighbors. However, when I was six years old I came up with my biggest money making scheme. I found a roll of raffle tickets. Me and my partner in crime Joelle went around door to door asking people if they wanted to win a television. We raised over fifty dollars. I was so excited, until I got home. My mom told me that I just committed a crime. We had to go back to every house and return the money. Now whenever I say I need money my family says,"Why dont you sell some raffles?"

Helping Out

At my school everybody takes a class called Advisory. Advisory is a class that is like your family. You stay together for all four years of high school. We get together everyday. We think of community service projects and how to earn service credits. Recently my advisor thought of helping out the Hungerford School. The children at that school are less advanced and need more help than high school kids. We decided we will meet with the Hungerford class every friday of every week for 45 minutes. During those 45 minutes we will talk to the kids, play games with them and maybe teach them something new. We will have fun , feel good and at the same time, earn community service hours.
