Great Experience

On Thursday, October 10, I went to free enterprise, when I arrived there the first thing that I notice was that everyone was outside the classroom at first I though that Mr.Kapptie wasn't in school, but than I hear his voice asking everyone to get close to him in order to give us information. He explain what were we going to do in class that day, he said that we were going to pretend to be in the stock market for the hole period he also say that we were responsible for picking up candies and fake money that were in the flor to used them as trades to make money and see how much money could we possible do at the end of the period. The lights of the classroom were off but it wasn't in complete dark because he had some of the computers on and also the projector, running a video of the people who work in the stock market, it was annoying. I was kinda of scare because I didn't know how exactly we were going to do the trade even when Mr. Kapptie explained everything. When I went inside of the classroom wasn't sure if I could put the candy and the money inside if my packets or no and because of this I didn't grave so many candies as I could. When we started to trade I was so confuse on how much were we going to sell or even buy the candies, at almost the end of the period I totally understood how everything worked but it was a little bit too late but I didn't make so bad at my total money at the end of the period thanks to my intuition that told me that everything that was in a low price was going to increase. The experience of that day was very interesting and educative, the feeling of be there cannot be describe with words, you have to be there to experiment the feeling.

  1. I agree that there is no way to describe the confusion and mass hysteria that went on :)
