What to Do with One Million Dollars- Charity
Final- What I Would Do With a Million Dollars One million dollars has a lot of potential and would change one person's or multiple peoples' lives in a diverse amount of ways. Many people that do have that much money abuse it. I believe they spend their millions in wrong and irresponsible ways; many celebrities spend their riches on material items for themselves to make their own public image as a wealthy person by buying houses, cars, and designer items that the normal working class citizen could not afford. If I were somehow able to miraculously get ahold of a million dollars, I would try to make the world a better place with it. Children are the seeds of the future. With all of the education budget cuts, foster homes, orphanages, poverty, and other issues that children are helpless to, they tend to get the "short end of the stick" in their lives which, in turn, could, and probably will, hurt their future and as a result, society's future in a major way. With a million dollars, I would either donate to schools that are in low-budget neighborhoods or non-profit organizations such as Saint Jude's Ranch that try and better children's lives and futures. Even 500,000 dollars could go a long way for a school especially when they are facing poverty problems. Nowadays, schools can barely even afford to provide teachers with supplies to educate their students; most teachers have to provide their own white board markers, crayons, colored pencils, paper, etc. Not only are the children suffering these budget cuts at an elementary level, but its also occurring at a university level where people are trying to become something and have a career. All people are suffering from these selfish cuts the government has bestowed on us; education is the beginning of a well-functioning society and all the education funds are being taken away to provide more for people who don't want to work and are thriving off of welfare or the governments war funds. With $100,000,000, a school

    Well how does $6 billion dollars sound! 78 billion pesos! 3.7 billion British Pounds! 480 billion Japanese Yen! That sound's like a terrific number.

    The greatest obstacle regarding the attainment of education in a high-poverty school―resources. According to HuffPost Education, 51 percent of children across the country now live in poverty, and the numbers appear to be growing at a hypersonic speed (Slade, 2015). Whether it be the inability to access quality education (a problem for many developing and rural nations) or the inability to fund lunch and school supplies (such as up to date textbooks or computers), there are several inclinations imposed on the education system because of the inadequacy of wealth in several portions of the world, such as the United States. In poverty stricken communities, receiving and therefor employing education properly…

    In the Chicagoland area in Illinois, these questions are visible to everyone who lives there. I went to a private high school in the suburb Lombard named, Montini Catholic. To attend this school you had to pay around $11,000 a year. Because of that price stamped on the school, some people are deterred away. My school was very generous and used money that it received to help students that were struggling to pay their tuition. When I graduated, Montini had received turf for their football field, IPads for the students to use in class, a new gym floor, new baseball field, and a brand new parking lot. But where did all this money come from? Well the wealthier families who attended my school were very generous and helped fund these projects. My school has clubs, sports, and great academics that the students participate in and receive great opportunities from. Some may think that’s a private school, what about the public schools? There a many public schools in my hometown area, and they have significantly more money than the private school I went to has. For example, the school Naperville Central that is located 5 miles away from my house. Everything at their school is up to date in technology and are always doing renovations on the school to make it bigger and better. The only…
