At the age of seven，while his friends were spending their allowances on candy and toys，Jose Adolfo was busy saving money for basic purchases.Later，the boy from Peru came up with the idea of an eco-bank，the Bartselana Student Bank，which allows kids of all ages to become financially independent while also helping the environment.
Set up in 2012，the bank is the world's first bank for kids.To become a member，a kid has to bring in at least 5 kilograms of solid waste and set a saving goal.Once accepted，all bank "partners" are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram of recyclables on a monthly basis and observe other requirements，such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops.
The waste accumulated is sold to local recycling companies，which，thanks to Jose's efforts，pay a higher-than-market rate for everything from the bank members.The money received is placed in the personal account where they collect until the saving goal is reached.The account holder can then withdraw the money，or choose to leave it and make it grow for a bigger target. "At the beginning，my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project，" Jose recalls. "They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present.Luckily，I had the support of the school headmaster and an assistant in my class."
The boy's efforts paid off，and by 2013，the bank had over 200 members，who brought in one ton of recyclable waste.Today，the eco-bank，which now has the support of several local institutions， boasts ten educational centers.They are designed to teach over 3，000 students，aged 10 to 18，to become financially independent，use their money wisely，and help the environment.

2．Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New Things For most high school students，free periods （課、節(jié)） are useless.From what I have seen，few do homework. （1）
.This makes it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any.As a senior next year，I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.
（2）.Now is the time for us students to choose a suitable one.We will experiment in different fields of study.We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it.
In my 8th grade，I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement；so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art.One of the projects was to build a clay pot，but I built mine incorrectly，so it broke in the kiln （窯）. （3）.Now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist.However，the class was one of my favorites that year.I was able to try new activities and test my ability.
（4）!College is when we should focus on a specific major，but high school is when we have to figure it out.

B.We should find out what we are good at
C.I've avoided anything related to art since then
D.Instead，many are on their phones and talking
