Mentor

A few weeks ago, my counselor referred me to a place called Community Learning Center to search for a mentor. I considered it and went there a week ago. I told them about the Capstone Project and that I needed a mentor, and in order to get one, they had me volunteer there. I believe that I would be working with children, and since my topic is Psychology, I am going to focus on the children's behavior. There will be an orientation for all the volunteers today after school, and I will be there. I hope to get a mentor today.

Fiscal Cliff Response

Republicans believe that deductions should be limited, instead of raising rates. Democrats thought the opposite, that upper-income earners should have higher rates. President Barrack Obama, thinks that tax increases on the middle class may cause recession, but despite that, Democrats campaigned on raising taxes. The Republicans were forced to accept it and were obviously not happy about it.

I used Google for this research. Since this is a short prompt, I did not use that many search tools. I used terms such as "fiscal cliff", "republican views on fiscal cliff", and "democrats views on fiscal cliff." I inserted quotation marks on certain words like "democrats" and "republicans" to narrow my search and to get one-sided results. In my opinion, this is one of the most helpful search tools.
