A Choice

If you had a choice in life where you could choose between getting ten dollars an hour for homework or never doing homework at all. One of the options is getting ten dollars for every hour you spend doing homework, this is good because then you would be able to start making money at such a young age. Also, you would then have the drive to make money and you would also be able to be more financially stable and more saving with your money, but be able to buy things that you want. The other option you would have is never to do homework again. Some advantages might be you would have more time to do other things like play video games, play a sport, or even spend more time with friends or family. 


Earning ten dollars an hour would put you in a mindset like a businessman because you would most likely be ahead of everyone else with your wealth at such a young age, this would spark you to have a sense of dominance where you would know your place in the world as a very successful person who is very knowledgeable with their money. One flaw is that $10 isn’t having a tub of money: This means that you could give up very quickly.


Never doing homework again would put you in a more competitive mindset where you would have more chances to win with everything like sports, activities, etc; that are going on. You would learn at a young age that to get better at things you would have to put in more time and effort to get better. This would help a lot in life as you put in a lot of time and effort to get better at something even if you aren’t very good at it. You would also learn to never give up. One flaw is that you could take this the wrong way and be very lazy about it. 


I would choose to never do homework again over doing homework for ten dollars an hour because the disadvantages and advantages outweigh the disadvantages and advantages of doing homework for ten dollars an hour. Also, I believe that you could become too money hungry. Also, I am more of an athletic person who doesn’t like to be on their butt the entire day, so I think that I would become bored of it quickly; while if I never do it again I would be able to have more free time to do the sports and activities that I like to do.
