When I first set out to start working on my Personal Project, I wanted to further my own skills and knowledge about investing. This quickly evolved to the creation of a product that could help others improve their own knowledge of investing as well. My project is a website that can be used as a guide for young people who would like to start investing in the stock market. Becoming educated in investing at a young age can significantly benefit portfolios later in life. Very few young people have the knowledge needed to start managing and growing money as early as high school. I wanted to create a guide that will help to decrease the intimidation associated with learning how to invest, and that would provide an easy step-by-step process for getting started.

This is a screenshot of a section I wrote on socially responsible investing.
On this page, I discuss the basics of how to find a trading platform that works for you.
In this section I talked about what the stock market essentially is. For a lot of people, investing is totally new to them, so it's important to consider that.
