Assignment 7 – Excel Graphing

In this line graph I used a provided website to measure an investment. I added 100 dollars each year and ended up with $258 in interest.

In this chart I created a survey to record 11 peoples favorite colors. The clear winner was red with double second places voters.

In this pie chart I showed my time spent today on apps. I spent 32 minutes on games and 5 minutes on media and school.

Part 2:

Canada has made decent progress to complete all the calls to action but sadly I do not think we have done enough. We still have many more calls to action to complete and even some we have not started or tried to start at all. We need to step up and give our full effort to complete all the calls to action this is what all first nation peoples deserve for what they have gone through.

I used the MLA citation guide.

I learned that the word Kwikwetlem means people of the water and that the Kwikwetlem river used to be full of salmon that the first nation harvested because they lived at the side of the river. The Kwikwetlem used to fish efficiently and now the settlers have hunted down the fish and dammed them until there were many lost. The Kwikwetlem now live in the same area they did before but with less land, salmon and freedom but people are working hard to reestablish the Kwikwetlem nation.

People may be more open to getting help from A.I in the future so they might not rely on financial planners. Also there will be new issues due to what people from younger generations expect which could cause problems.

 

 

Other question(s):

Part 2: Reflection

  1. Give three reasons why you like this job (be specific):
    1. Independent so you don’t really have to answer anyone or get bossed around like in other jobs.
    2. Good salary and lots of good benefits (health insurance etc.)
    3. You do not have to rely on others to help you (unreliable people)

 

  1. Give three reasons why you might not like this job (be specific):
    1. A very social job where you must manage people and their personalities.
    2. You must take in a lot of work to earn good money (high work volume).
    3. Stressful job with lots of deadlines and not much time off.

 

  1. Is this job for you? Why or why not?

I think this job would be good for me because I work very well on my own and I can get work done very fast and efficiently.

Most of the work is done online in this job there is a lot of e-mailing filling out forms and even using online chat or video services like teams.

  1. Explain the value of your TOKW experience in relation to your ideas about your plans after high school.

I think this has been a valuable experience that has taught me how financial planning works, what you must do to get this job and the pros/cons of it. It has shown me a potential job I could work towards after high school and since I like the idea of independence and online work maybe I will have this job someday.
