REFLECTION
- This party didn't really mean anything to me in the beginning, it was just an idea for this project. Now I'm truly exited to have my 16th birthday. It was hard to remember in the beginning to save the money, but it became a routine to save my money. I enjoyed this project because it showed me how to compare prices online and receive the better deal.
- So far I have managed to save $160, I am still saving for the party which is planned to be on August 27, 2016.
