Crowdfunding

 Over the last few years crowdfunding has become an increasingly common way of raising money for entrepreneurs. This practice consist of asking for a very little money -often the same amount that a coffee costs!- to a large number of people who are willing to support you or your idea.

 This method although it could seem silly or tedious has helped many people reach their objectives and earn a lot of money. It is mainly used by artists ,who don't usually earn enough on other online platforms to pursue their career, by small brands whose aim is to grow bigger, or by people who have a great idea but need certain budget to take it into action.

Furthermore, crowdfunding is highly used for solidarity purposes. Many ordinary people use it to ask for money to afford a medical procedure. However, there is a negative aspect about this; some people take advantage of the willing to help of people and lie about having an illness to earn money. This happens very rarely but there are cases when the person has obtained thousands of euros by a lie.

To sum up, as far a I am concerned, crowdfunding is an excellent way to help and support many careers, small business and help people. Nevertheless, it is important to know a little about the person you fund to make sure their project is real and avoid a scam. 

Time to be honest

In today's world it is of paramount importance to be honest, not just at school but at any other field. Moreover, not acting fairly can cause the lost of respect from others, for instance teachers, friends or family, to us. When the damage is done it is very difficult to forgive or forget a lie, thus we ought to avoid dishonesty and always tell the truth. 

As third term is almost starting we have to be more honest now than ever, we are almost at the end of the road and we don't want to throw all the work we have done away. Therefore we must work hard and do our best in order to finish the year with the grades we deserve for all our effort.

Being dishonest is in the long run worse than being genuine and not reaching your objetives. Firstly because you could get caught and you would have to face the consequences. Besides, if you take the easy way the problems will be accumulating so you won't be able to solve them all. Also, the selectivity exam ,which is an exam where it is impossible to cheat, will be the turning point for us who are in second of bachillerato.

To put it in a nutshell, it is the time to be honest. It is a very fulfilling feeling to know you have worked hard on something and you've made it. We have to make sure that when we finish the school year we can look back and be proud of ourselves.
