The Charbonneau Castle (or you may otherwise know it as the Findry Flower Shop) was actually built by a woman named Belinda Mulrooney who started with nothing, but who ended up with a huge fortune by starting a hotel, banking, and peddling business in the Klondike. She actually fits alot of the traits needed for success that we have been studying.

Again i wanted to say thank you for giving us all of these oppurtunities to choose our own due dates and what we write about. I am confused about how we can choose if we correspond our 1st in class essay in or not but I will find out from someone or will talk to you Monday. Thanks again!

The due date thing is just like last semester and I think that it is very thankful of you to give us this opportunity. But I still think that it is better to turn in your paper on the early due date because then you have it back to maybe revise it at the end of the semester. Thanks!!

Having this opportunity will help alot of us out with writing an exceptional well paper. Also having so many options on what to write about and taking all of class time to get us starting on what to write about its cool. Thanks Peters!

This outline is like the most helpful thing I've seen posted! It really set me on the right track, and basically summarized everything you've talked about in class! I really like how you let us write about almost whatever we want, which allows us to be more passionate about it. Thanks for setting us on the right track!
