Adriana Araso's Candy Smuggling Business
Adriana, growing up in Columbia with restrictions on imports, decided to sell American candy at her school despite it being illegal. Encouraged by her father, she flourished in this business for three years due to the excitement of breaking the rules. Even after legal options became available, students continued to buy her candy due to the thrill of engaging in illicit activities and avoiding taxes.

In an attempt to visit Colonial Williamsburg with limited funds, Emily and her brother, Ted, devised a plan to gain entry without purchasing tickets. After seizing an opportunity when the barrel makers' back door was open, they pretended to have lost a Governor's Pass to access the site. Through a clever ruse involving Ted's dyslexia, they managed to enjoy a day at Colonial Williamsburg, including a tour of the governor's mansion and a free lunch.
