Notes:

Student Directions:
Your four years of hard work at college are at an end and you are graduating from college. You expect to get lots of money for graduation and plan to take a nice long vacation to reward yourself before starting that great new job. You want to create a PowerPoint presentation to show your family and friends how you plan to spend all the loot that they will be giving you. You hope that they may kick in a little extra when they see how wisely you are spending their cash.
This is not a task that you take lightly; the better your presentation, the more money you will probably get. You need to make a good oral presentation to help the bank account.
You will also need to develop a storyboard to show how your PowerPoint slides will compliment your speech. The story board will help you organize your speech and save you time in the long run. You have set a daily budget amount so you will need to calculate your expenses each day. That will prove that you are spending your graduation cash wisely.
Finally, you need to create the PowerPoint presentation.
