First Quarter Grade was 3.2 however the overall high school GPA is rising. Second Quarter Grade is currently 3.5. NYU Would be more of a Dream school while OSU and Earlham are more of Goal schools.

What are stock brokers and what do they do?
-A stockbroker invests in the stock market as representant for a individual or corporations. Only members of the stock exchange can conduct transactions, so whenever individuals or corporations want to buy or sell stocks they must go through a brokerage house. Stockbrokers often advise and counsel their clients on appropriate investments. Brokers explain the workings of the stock exchange to their clients and gather information from them about their needs and financial ability, and then determine the best investments for them.

Bullet Points

- What is a Proxy Server? A proxy server is basically another computer which serves as a hub or a port through which internet requests are processed. 

-How do they work? By connecting through one of these servers, your computer sends your requests to the proxy server which then processes your request and returns what you were wanting. 

-What Purpose does it serve?  it serves as an intermediary between your home machine and the rest of the computers on the internet. 
What are common uses for proxies? Proxies are used for a number of reasons such as to filter web content, to go around restrictions such as parental blocks, to screen downloads and uploads and to provide anonymity when surfing the internet.

Short Summary
This topic relates to my lfie because I use proxies to go online and sometimes I use proxy servers for more internet privacy.If I can understand how they work I can probably use them more correctly and more.

Questions
-How do you create a proxy server?

What i want to learn?

How to make an interactive Minecraft adventure map. Here we will include our favorite subjects and we might teach the player how to build traps and engage in interactive activities. Probably the player swill have to journey through the map and obtain the most possible amount of a certain item (bacon and diamonds).
The difficulty will be on hard so that one needs the bacon to keep moving on. The Success will be be measured on how many diamonds one has at the end of the game.

What will my final product look like?
The Final product will be a lan server that is to be played on a shared wifi and it will be playable through a computer.
