Classroom stock market
At the door I became slightly nervous when Mr. Kapptie told us to put down our backpacks and coats. After the brief overview I went to the back door and waited anxiously for the door to open. When it did there was an immediate blast of incoherent noise and then came the wave of heat. Walking in I couldn't see anything at first because it was dark except for the screens showing crowds of people shouting with pen and papers in their hands. After my eyes adjusted I noticed candy and paper strewn about the room. Immediately I bent down and snatched up as much as I could and put it in one spot before it was all gone. As soon as I had collected as much as possible I noticed the writing on the board. I went over to read it and I realized that I was in our very own classroom stock market. The numbers didn't really make any sense to me, so I was reluctant to sell or buy anything. After a while I started to get the feel of it and began to make trades and got more aggressive with my buying and selling power. My biggest mistake though was not reading a paper that said the jolly rancher chews were going to gain profit. I was ignorant in that and therefore I didn't gain any money or value out of that deal. I did sell nerds for a profit even with the major split at the end. Overall it felt very hectic and rather chaotic. My final value was not very significant comparatively, but I didn't bomb it in the scale of things either. When the lights came on I felt very relieved that it was finally over. I enjoyed the experience, but I don't think I could handle the pressure and the chaos involved with this line of work.
