Columbus Bank & Trust Speakers

When Heather Horn was here speaking on behalf of savings and credit she let us know about different types of savings accounts and savings bonds. There are many ways that you can save and earn money through banks and credit unions. She also told us how people get bad credit and how they could prevent from getting bad credit. She spoke on how to prevent and how to deal with identity theft, if this ever happens to you. Kwame Smith talked about careers in banking and budgets. He taught us that everyone should learned how to live with a budget because at one point in your life you will have to. He told us about the many different careers you can pursue in banking such as working your way up to be a manager or being an accountant. Both Ms. Horn and Mr. Smith made a big impact on my future banking skills and I thank them for sharing the information that they did with me.

Greystone Apartments

The speaker on Thursday, October 15, 2009 talked about the locations of their apartment properties. They also talked about the price ranges and what you can and can not do on these properties. To live on Greystone properties you have to be a certain age to be a lease holder, you have to make a certain amount of money, and you must have good credit but no credit is better than bad credit. You do not have to worry about any maintenance problems. The apartments do not come with washers and dryers, but you can use the laundromat on the property or rent a washer and dryer, paying monthly payments. I believe that Greystone Properties would be a nice place to live.

Respect

I feel that respect is a very important factor in life. I also feel that you have to give respect to get it. Respect is the way that you treat another person regardless if it is your mother, father, grandparents, siblings, or even strangers. I believe that everyone who gives respect, deserves it in return. I do not think that age is irrelevant when it comes to respect. It does not matter if you are one, twenty-three, or sixty-two. I feel that you should be respected and that you should give respect at all times.
