Girard's phenomenal success stemmed from his refusal to imitate conservative businessmen who demonstrated a "prudence that will risk nothing." He and his fellow entrepreneurs helped propel Phila delphia into the industrial age. They provided two essential elements that would transform the city's econ omy-capital amassed from for eign trade, and a readiness to take chances by investing in business ventures unrelated to commerce. Merchants had founded the city's banking system in 1781; later mer chants would pool funds to estab lish competing banks. Among these was one started by Girard in 1812 that remained in operation until the 1970s. These banks were critical in providing venture capital for the building of factories. Many mer chants also

1) Police across Ontario, Canada are looking for a David Maracle, a serial offender who escaped from a correctional facility in Kingston, Ontario on January 22, 2017. David sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl at gunpoint in 1997, served time and was released in 2015 to 24 hour supervised correctional center. He was only allowed out if staff received a detailed itinerary of a planned trip. On that Sunday, around 8 pm, staff realized David was missing and alerted the authorities (Edminston, 2017).
To David Barton, the biggest race he has won would be The GatorNationals. This was a significant moment to david because it was a start of a new era. In his words, “ To some people winning indie is the biggest thing, but it doesn't compare to the GatorNationals in Florida, because it was the beginning of a new era of muscle cars.” This accomplishment was achieved from experience at Ray Barton Racing engines. In other words, by working in his dad's business. Racing has always been what David does. It’s what he grew up around. David has done this job full time since 16 or 17. This job was also his father's, Ray Barton.
Louis Riel was born on October 22, 1844 in the Red River Settlement (what is now Manitoba). Many people are not sure if he left a good or bad legacy, but overall, Louis Riel left a good legacy. Louis Riel led two resistance movements against the Canadian government. He wanted to preserve Metis rights and culture as their homelands in the Northwest came progressively under the Canadian sphere of influence. Louis Riel was religious and he stayed true to his culture and people.
The first reason Louis Riel should be viewed as a hero is due to his noble acts at the Red River Settlement. Louis Riel continued to respect the English people despite their attempt at taking over his land. He allowed the English people to become part of the provisional government he created. He also, gave them an equal number of representatives even though they were in the minority. Furthermore, Louis Riel helped Manitoba to become a province and join the Confederation. That happened since if Louis Riel had never stopped the English people from taking over the Red River settlement, Manitoba would have never been formed. Louis Riel also sent Father Ritchot to Ottawa in order to discuss the creation of Manitoba with John A. Macdonald.

Lou Holtz was born January 6, 1937. This was a man that grew up in great hardship. Although he always had a roof over his head, his childhood home’s furnishings left much to be desired. This extremely modest childhood home of Mr. Holtz for the most part was a very small shack that contained a kitchen without a refrigerator and a bedroom bathroom combination area that was all in one room. There was a sink and a toilet, but no tub or shower, which meant bathing consisted of washing up in the sink. Although his humble family was gracious for what little they did have, Lou said that the hardship that they lived was so great that in order to be considered poor, his family would need a raise.

Aristotle once said: "The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet." Fortunately for me, the roots that I have began to taste at the University of Guelph during my Bachelor of Commerce (undeclared) program, have been just as sweet as the fruit will eventually taste. The career and education goals I have set for myself thus far in my life have been nothing less than shooting for the stars. After I have received my Bachelor degree, I plan to move on to obtain my masters in whichever business path I choose to major in. This goal itself requires another goal, to obtain an eighty plus average in my last two years of study, in order to be accepted into the masters program. Aside from post secondary itself, I read books on investing and

In the essay titled “Blue Collar Brilliance” author Mike Rose argues that many fields of work involve using a high amount of mental cognition to work efficiently and effectively, including working class occupations. Rose gives two anecdotes of personal family members who used their “blue collar brilliance” to succeed in their respective fields of work. While many people are quick to assume less schooling for a career requires less intelligence, Rose shows how even manual labor can use a high amount of intelligence with a story of his uncle who was promoted from an entry level line worker to a supervisor for a whole department. The employees who use their intelligence and cognition are the ones who are accomplished and promoted even if they
