Second Semester of Senior Year:

- I'm most excited about the Boys Volleyball season starting in a couple weeks. I'm on varsity and will be a starter this season so it should be really fun. After our school season is over, I'm going back to play club volleyball for a bit longer. Everyone should be a bit better on our club team after coming back from their school teams so it should be really interesting to see how they improved.

- The pros of developing a product for profit are that they're usually cheaper to make and sell more easily. The cons are that the product might be looked down upon due to it's quality. An example of a product for profit is Coke. It's very cheap to make and is very popular. The pros of developing a product to benefit others are that they are usually of a higher quality and give the developer some satisfaction knowing they're helping people. The cons are that it usually costs more to produce these products and less profit is made off of them. An example of a product made to benefit others is SOCCKET, a power-generating soccer ball designed to provide electricity for disadvantaged children.
