So... if you liked this girl almost allll of the last school year, and knew she liked you back, but you both were in seventh grade and decided not to go out. So yeah you still flirted and talked and it was cute but you didn't really text her because you always lost your phone and just weren't really a texter in general, not that it mattered because you guys talked at school. You keep on liking her until school ends.
So then the summer goes by, you don't talk to her once. School's back, you have no classes together... you see her frequently in the halls but never talk. Then, one day, out of the blue she goes up and talks to you for a bit you SMILE AND ITS HELLA CUTE %26lt;3 while you're the type of guy who has hardly any friends who are girls and who hardly ever smiles... you give her this BIG HEARTMELTING SMILE. :] After this, you change your bike path so you're on the same as hers. A week goes by, and you don't talk, until the last school day you have before valentines day, she gives you a valentine. No biggie, she gave them to a lot of her friends but since you hadn't talked in a while it was a little unexpected. About five days later, over break, she texts you and you actually reply... she gets 21 messages from you in a 24 hour period, you get 19 from her. Now break's over, and you've been at school one day, she hasn't talked to you but it's only been one day.
1) if you were in this situation, would it be possible that you still liked her? (cuase i still like him but I didn't realize it until I spoke to him)
2) Would you think she liked you back? You're not what you would call a ladies man... you've never had a gf, and you aren't popular with the girls lol. Just cuz ur rude ;] (but you've always been so sweet to me! well almost always)
3) WHAT SHOULD I DO TO GET HIM TO LIKE ME?? Tomorrow is 8th graders open gym day were the 8th graders can go play b-ball... and I have to take pictures... I'm 100% sure he'll be there. Any suggestions? I already know what I'm wearing, lol. ALSO... I want to be able to talk to him in the halls more, at least say hi. How, and what do I say?
A question?? I love whoever answers ahah?
go do your homework..........
A question?? I love whoever answers ahah?
Why don't you just.. ask him if he likes you?
I don't get this whole %26quot;LOL DOES HE LIKE ME OH HE MIGHT NOT AHHH%26quot; thing. Just ask the boy.
Just talk to him like a friend, no biggie. He's probably confused and shy since he's not experiences talking to girls. Just treat him like a friend and he'll be comfortable around you.
This is ridiculous and far too long and very immature.

I have to write a 4-5 paper about this book rasing a secure child. can any body help me out and read my paper?
The author of Raising a secure child is Zeynep Biringen (2004). Biringen Background is that she is an “associate professor at Colorado state university and a licensed child psychologist.” She wrote the book to inspire the way parents relate to children. It is dedicated to “all the children and families who have participated over the years.” People who read this book will figure out the “strengths and weaknesses in their current parent child relationship and develop new ways of creating stronger, more nourishing emotional bonds with children of any age.”
Biringen explains how children show attachment through “a cluster of behaviors that brings physical closeness to adult caregiver, such as reaching, clinging, sucking.” In children attachment starts very young. I have seen that I have five nephews and two nieces. My two nephews Wyatt and Camden were more attach to my sister-in-law. When Camden was born he was clinging to my sister-in-law. Every time I would watch him we would have to put him in another room with some toys and she would have to sneak out. He is now six years old and he is getting much better, but once in a while he will ask where his mommy is and we would always say she will be home soon. When Wyatt was born he was the same way as Camden and still is. Wyatt is one years old and every time someone watches him he cries. He is so clinging to his mommy. He will probably grow out of it like his brother.
In the book the author talks about childhood attachment through divorce and loss of parent. At any age your parents can divorce or lose a parent. It is a hard feeling to face. A lot of children are attaching to the caretaker and it is hard for them to go through a divorce or loss of a parent. A lot of time when a parent divorce when child is older the child express more anger as suppose when they are younger. A lot of people are different to.
Two examples of how attachment goes through divorce and loss of parent. First example is while I was in eighth grade my parents went through a divorce. I was more attaching to my father than my mother. I would get angry at everybody for no reasons. I was upset, stress out, and I blame it on myself. When I was around my parents I felt like it was my fault and I was afraid to talk about how I felt to anyone. Basically I shut down emotionally, trying to block the anger. All the stress and hurt took a toll on my schooling as well. All that was happening made it hard to focus on my school work.
Second example is about a loss parent. Losing a parent at any age is the worst feeling. Through all the pain, grief, and confusion it can change your life around. I have seen that happen. One of my best friends in high school lost her dad at the age of 16. She was upset, shock, and fearful. It was hard for because her dad died suddenly. It took her awhile to get back on track. To lose someone that close to you and always there for you just don’t get over it in a day. You will never forget that someone close to you.
Biringen talks about Authoritative and Authoritarian and Permissive parenting in school performance. Also in class we talked about Authoritative and Authoritarian and Permissive parenting in discipline. Authoritative is high in warmth and high in confident. Authoritative children do very well in school, very strict, infancy, and self regulate. Also, is distraction, tired, furious and don’t follow behavior modeling and have good relationship. Authoritarian children also do well in school, but are low in warmth and high in control, less confident, low socially. They keep there distance and expect questions. Another one that we talk about in class was permissive. Permissive parents show little warmth, and little on discipline.
She talks about discipline in children. Most people who discipline their children are the way their parents discipline them when they were young. Every child is different even if a child is taught discipline early and develops a sense of right and wrong. A child taught discipline can still be an unruly and out of control. The type of discipline used on the child can help determine how the child will act. Say a child is disciplined in a more abusive manner they may turn out to cause more trouble and start more fights thinking that is how you deal with someone when you don’t like how they act. It can also work the other way. A child raised and disciplined understanding and removal of privileges rather the physical punishment can learn to deal with their problems in the same manner. They can learn to talk out their problems with others rather then resorting to physical or violent methods.
In conclusion most of all, it is about giving each other the gifts of love, trust, and happiness for you and your child. No matter what age you are you can become closer to your child by supporting them through difficult time.
I have to write a 4-5 paper about this book rasing a secure child. can any body help me out and read my paper?
Correct your grammar.
Correct your spelling.
Do not think that this is a four or five page paper.
You are off to a good start.
Now get to work and write an A plus paper.
As a former teacher, I would give you a C plus as is. A D for grammar and punctuation.
In other words, C minus.

What do ivy schools look for in me?
Do schools look at the high school you attend? how hard do they look upon that?
Also if you were to change your high school every year does it matter?
say i got to 2 different public school for 9th and 10th then go to private for the rest?
does that look bad?depending on the high school?
do private school look better than public school?
also if my grades are
pretty much b+ for my first semester than all A's and one B+ for my 2nd semester in my 9th grade year
does that start of bad for an ivy league school?
i plan on joining lots of clubs for next year and extracurricular's
but say i plan for a medical field (not sure yet what i want to do) not something simple tho
it doesnt have to be only ivy league but around those types of school?
also does math matter alot?
like say you
take
regular algebra
geomety honors
algebra 2 honors
then precal
is that so bad?
What do ivy schools look for in me?
You are not headed on an ivy track at all. Please refer to the other poster's comment on how to improve. In all, getting into an ivy league school sounds like a pipedream for you and you do not really even want it. Most people who post about ivy leagues are asking questions like %26quot;is this good enough%26quot; when they are in all AP/IB courses, and you are asking %26quot;is [this] so bad?%26quot; You have to aim higher if you want to get into these schools. You need to challenge yourself and stand out somehow. You do not stand out yet (does not even sound like you want to).
You have to realize just how big this country is. Thousands of applicants apply, they have to deny many many people every year, many of which are very qualified. It just does not seem like you understand how real the competition is. Most people do not get into these schools. So, you should not be asking yourself, %26quot;does this matter a lot?%26quot; you need to be asking yourself, how can I get all As in the hardest classes available. And, further, %26quot;what can I do to make me special enough to beat out the other thousand or so applicants%26quot;
What do ivy schools look for in me?
When I was applying for colleges, the ivy schools looked for students that challenged themselves. So if you went to a school where they offered calculus, and you didn't take it, you were worse off than a student who only took pre-cal at a school where that was the highest math offered. So, basically, take the best your school has to offer.
Also, it was better to have a couple extracurriculars you did a lot of stuff in than a whole bunch you barely participated in. The SAT/ACT grades were really important too. Some of the ivys have an unwritten %26quot;minimum%26quot; score. It also helps to sound motivated and interesting in the application essays. The school I went to required an interview.
Mostly remember that you're competing against a ton of other students for a small # of spaces, so getting in is about standing out against your fellow applicant. My friend worked in admissions and some of the people they rejected were qualified and would have been accepted another year, but the year they applied there were more applicants who beat them out.recipes for chicken alfredo howtogetevenwithyourex

I am 14 and i wish i can start ballet dancing?
i'm a 14 y/o girl. and i really really want to start ballet. is it too late? it feels like it. i started before when i was 4 but only went for a few wekkes then stop. what do you think? i am already having a busy schedule here with school, school activities, piano lessons, art classes, sunday school. and i heard ballet lessons cost a lot, i'm not sure about my parents. and i'm 14!!! it going to be terrible. i'll have to work with the little kids of 4 to 6 and i'm going to be the only 14 year-old in class. so..... EMBARRASSING! abut oh dear, i really want to dance....
here are a few questions:
do you think i can try it? after all those problems up there?
how long do classes last, how many times a week?
how much do they cost?
how long do you need to change your shoes. i mean, how long does one pair last? and how much do they cost?
if i 'll start at grade one, then can i skip grades? like try to catch up with other 14 y/o's?
how will the exams be?
DO YOU THINK I SHOULD GO FOR IT?
I am 14 and i wish i can start ballet dancing?
There is another factor you did not consider...How big are you? (Height and weight) Most ballerina's are not very big. (Under 5'2%26quot; adult height) Anyone can learn to dance at any age ( and you will not be put in a class with 6 year olds, but in a teen or adult beginners class), but it takes years to become a pointe ballerina. Apparently Princess Diana wanted to pursue a career in dancing, but at 5'10%26quot; and 155 pounds, she was told that she was bigger than almost all male dancers, and was WAY too tall to ever be a ballerina.
They don't give exams in dancing school. Shoes are purchased either as you outgrow them or they are worn or you switch from soft to hard (pointe) shoes.
Lessons can range from $25 to $65 a class session (45 or 50 minutes)
I am 14 and i wish i can start ballet dancing?
well.....i loved dance....and i miss it sooo much.......i had knee surgery and had to stop......but they lasted about 1-2 hours....longer when it got close to competition or recital time....its really hard to balance everything and keep your grades up.......and you probobly have a few classes every week......but they cost quite a bit.....but if you really want to......you really dont have to change your shoes that often.........but you probobly wont skip grades unless your like really good.......if you really want it you should go for it!
i was in your situation a few weeks ago i'm 14 too! i thought i would be with young children too but im not! i'm with people the year below me i don't mind because there really funny. starting ballet is fantastic, i love every lesson.it's not very expensive like 拢4 a lesson but it does vary. i am with people who have been doing it a long time, but there are some new ones too, i am picking it up quickly. START IT IT IS AMAZING!!!!
Totaly go for it when i did ballet for 2 years i was slightly older than everyone else dont be worried just aim for what u want go try if u dont like it u can easyly quit
Sabra Johnson.
its not to late! I didnt start til like I was 12 almost 13. Now im 14 and Im starting pointe this summer! Instead of starting with 4 to 6 year olds ask your studio if they have a 'teen' ballet class because thats what I did for my first season. Now im at a pre pointe level w/ girls like 11-14 ! Classes are usually an hour. Its up to you how many classes a week. If your serious about it and looking to get really good i'd say atleast 3 per week. If your just doing it as an extra fun thing then you can just take 1. GO FOR IT GIRL! :] lol hope I helped!
I think you should try it if you think you can do it. I mean, the other activities you have listed up there seem like a lot already but dance has been very rewarding and fun for me. I started at 13 so i think it is okay to start now. And you dont HAVE to work with the little kids. There should be other people just like you that want to dance now but are not 4-10 years old anymore. Check with the front desk and ask them what classes they have, also check the prices with your parents too.
If it is something that you love and you want to do all the time, then go for it. But you have to be very dedicated to dancing. I'm sure they will not put you in a level with kids 4-6. They will probably put you with your age, or a class below your age. (only since you are just starting dance)
Classes vary between academies, my ballet classes are about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Except on Saturday i am there till 10-12:30. And the cost also varies on the academy's.
Depending on what brand of ballet shoes you get they normally cost somewhere under $20. I would most defiantly get CANVAS SPLIT-SOLE ballet shoes. Do not buy the leather ballet shoes, they crack and are very UN-attractive. And do not get a full sole ballet shoe, it does not show off your arch at all.
I'm sure that if you work hard and try your best then you will move up very fast. (but I'm almost positive you will not be in the 4-6 year old class) Good Luck!!! :]
im 13 and started grade 2 ballet about 2 weeks ago and it costs 拢5.20 and i do one lesson i am with 7/8 year olds .
you do have quiet a busy schedual but just look for a place then ask your parents
shoes last ages if you dont do loads of lessons a week it pointe shoes that dont last bacause there the ones in which you go on your toes in and they get worn away easilly.
hope this help any more question just ask me and try learning some of the things on this website

What do you think of my letter against school uniforms?
Dear Brunswick County board of education
I am writing this letter to dispute school uniforms. They violate our freedom of speech and our parents rights. In example, a student chooses to wear an Obama T-shirt which clearly expresses their encourage and support for him. But under this dress code The student would not be able to wear the shirt therefore, taking away his/her right To Show support. Also, if a parent/guardian does not want to have their child in a uniform it is their right and personal decision to not put them in one.
You seem to think that uniforms will help academics and behavior. Wrong again. If a student was called ugly or fat before the uniforms will the uniforms really change anything?
Here is all the cons you probably didn’t even think about.
1. Violate a student's right to freedom of expression
2. Are just a “quick fix” to school bullying.
3. Parents pay taxes to run the school not you so they should be able to buy the clothes THEY want for their kids.
4. Are very difficult to get students to wear.
As copied from http://knol.google.com/k/gregory-aymond/dress-codes-uniforms-in-schools/1jc4p62u8o21w/2?locale=en#, “In school dress code cases, the United States Supreme Court has said that rights of students must be balanced against a justified %26quot;showing that the students' activities would materially and substantially disrupt the work and discipline of the school.%26quot; Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, 393 U.S. 503 (1969). In Tinker, the Supreme Court upheld the rights of students to wear black arm bands to protest the Vietnam War.

I really hope you will put some time and thought into changing your mindset on uniforms. They really upset us students and you should do a survey on us and see how we feel about it. Thanks in advance for you time

What do you think of my letter against school uniforms?
I think it's a great letter. That will for sure get a lot of attention. Especially all those signatures!
What do you think of my letter against school uniforms?
I am sure as a citizen of the US, you used your freedom of speech at the board meeting. Apparently , more than 135 people agreed with the board and decided in favor of having a uniform dress code. The majority rules in this country still. Next time, work on getting people to like and agree with U
umm the school will probably ingore this letter you can't change the rules only the school can so ur stuck with uniforms so i would just deal with it for now
I think your letter is awesome. It is very persuasive.
I think that one person's letter isn't going to change didly sqwat.
Okay, I will tell you right now.
SCHOOL UNIFORMS are better for the following reasons:
1. If you wake up late you don't have time to pick out something without wondering if your friends will like it.
2. I had to wear uniforms a while ago and I was completely against wearing them. At the time it seemed VERY bad and unfair. Now, I go to a non-uniform school and I am BEGGING my parents to find a uniform school.
3. Think of the other students! Some kids can not afford to buy clothes to fit the %26quot;Latest Style%26quot;. Some kids WILL be made fun of!!!!
I do admire your decision to figt the %26quot;man%26quot; though!
Try to get as many signatures as you can! It might also help if you got parents signatures to show that adults support this as well as kids. I think this is awesome because i made a letter like this for a student council when i was in 6th grade, and IT WORKED! just keep on working at it and get more signatures.
Sweetie, first and foremost, please take your personal info out (your name, school, age, etc), that's VERY unsafe internet practice.
Now, to your letter, it sounds pretty good. I like the information you put in there. I would change %26quot;in example%26quot; to %26quot;for example%26quot; and also check your punctuation and capitalization,
Good luck, I hope it works!
Don't send it yet. The grammar needs some more work. Also, uniforms don't violate your freedom of speech, don't say that or they'll just laugh at you. Say they violate your freedom of expression, because clothes are an extension of a person's character and personality...something along this line...say that freedom of expression is a vital component of America's democracy, and you want the freedom to express your political opinion...a right guaranteed by the US Constitution.
I personally am in favor of school uniforms. Saves a lot of hassle in my opinion. I live in London, England, and here, everyone wears a school uniform. If there wasn't a school uniform, parents would be forced to spend even more money on the children's clothes, as their kids would feel pressurized to wear only the best, and thus the kids will then pressurize the parents into buying the clothes. And we know how quickly fashion and other fads change. One minute it's in, the next, it becomes yesterday's news, and %26quot;so last season%26quot;.
So a school uniform would actually save parents a lot of money, they would look smart, be easily identifiable as to which school they attend, which can come in handy in many situations, i.e. if the little kids cause trouble etc.
Besides, i know it's not cool to say, but i've always thought uniforms give you a sense of pride.
Uniforms are worn not only to promote the school but to protect students, faculty and others. It also helps prepare us for the business world. Uniforms help us keep tidy and look business prepared. If you were to go to a job interview, would you walk in with jeans around your knees and a big white shirt that says OBAMA08? No. You'd walk in with a nice suit on and present yourself neatly and efficiently. We are to tuck in our shirts to help us with safety. Watch this video:

Freedom of speech is speech. not what you wear. If this was true with what you're saying, we would be allowed to run around naked and say it's freedom of speech/expression, because this is how God created us. They would then precede to smack on handcuffs and a towel on us and take us down town.
I am writing this letter to dispute school uniforms. They violate our freedom of speech and our parents rights. In example, a student chooses to wear an Obama T-shirt which clearly expresses their encourage and support for him. But under this dress code The student would not be able to wear the shirt therefore, taking away his/her right To Show support. Also, if a parent/guardian does not want to have their child in a uniform it is their right and personal decision to not put them in one.
You seem to think that uniforms will help academics and behavior. Wrong again. If a student was called ugly or fat before the uniforms will the uniforms really change anything?
Here is all the cons you probably didn’t even think about.
1. Violate a student's right to freedom of expression
2. Are just a “quick fix” to school bullying.
3. Parents pay taxes to run the school not you so they should be able to buy the clothes THEY want for their kids.
4. Are very difficult to get students to wear.

EMBARRASSING! but oh dear, i really want to dance....
here are a few questions:
do you think i can try it? after all those problems up there?
how long do classes last, how many times a week?
how much do they cost?
how long do you need to change your shoes. i mean, how long does one pair last? and how much do they cost?
if i 'll start at grade one, then can i skip grades? like try to catch up with other 14 y/o's?
how will the exams be?

I am 14 and i wish i can start ballet dancing?
As i say, it's never too late for anything. And of course you can do ballet. That's the reason some people even do ballet in the first place: to be flexible. And don't worry about it. Usually there are classes for girls with the same age as you. Also you get to choose your schedule. If you think you can do it, try it 5 times a week, the minimum in our school is 2 times a week. Also usually ballet shoes don't cost that much, and are usually used 3 months or more. Exams for us usually are written(spelling of the terms and their meaning) and physical(dancing). In our school you could skip up to 3 levels if you're really good. I think you should go for it. I'm 18 and started doing ballet since i was 5 and loved it ever since. Good Luck and i hope you like it as much as i do!! :D
heyy you go girl! i started ballet when i was 10 and i was in the class with a bunch of 5 year olds! you will move up quickly if you practice your moves and go to every class you can. I dance with to different studios and is about 15 dollars for a class and more for private lessons. my shoes haves lasted me for about a year so far and i dance 3 times a week but it really depends on how offten you dance. it might take a while to catch up with the other 14 year olds buttrusrt me it is all worth it!!!! i love ballet and i am sure you will too!!!
no its not too late
You go right ahead! It is never to later to dance. I knew a woman who started dancing when she was 30. It is never to late to start Ballet. Just do your best, and have fun.

How do you handle a person who used to be your best friend, but met another one of your BFFs & changed to much?
My friend (lets call her Sarah) has been a BFF since 3rd Grade! My other friend (lets call her Mandy) has been a BFF since 1st Grade! Mandy was out of school for 2nd and 3rd grade, so Mandy and Sarah never met. Then Mandy came back in 4th grade and I was in class with yet another BFF (lets call her Madison) and another (lets call her Marie.) So I was in class with Madison, who was BFF's with Marie. Mandy only knew me, and same with Sarah. When people meet Madison, they change and become bullies. So thats what happened to Sarah and Mandy. Marie actully stayed nice, and me...I am way to shy and I don't defend myself. Now, Sarah always says %26quot;Go away nobody wants you here.%26quot; So I ask Mandy, and she says %26quot;I don't care if your here%26quot; and Madison, was never mean to me. But Sarah is really mean to me now and I can't take it. I have no other friends!! And I made fun of Marie 1 time and she gets PO at me! When Sarah and Madison dis her like crazy every day. Please tell me how to defend myself, dis her, think of comebacks, make friends with the three people I want to be friends with, Grace, Taylor, and Lucy. Of course, Sarah and Mandy and Marie are their friends, but why not me. I used to be friends with Grace, and I think Lucy wants to be my friend, but idk about Taylor. Please help me! Sorry this is so long.

Is there anything else I can add to make this a perfect descriptive essay?
I am going to be posting my final essay in College Writing, I was just wondering if there was anything else I could add to help me get a better grade.
Final Essay
Introduction Letter:
I chose the topic I did for this essay, because it was something that I could describe and I felt confident to share it to other readers. I felt this was a strong well written essay, and love is something always everyone experiences in their life, and I felt a lot of readers could relate to it. The process I used in writing this essay was a free write just kind of letting my mind and the keyboard do the work, and then I started to put more effort into it by really getting deep into my emotions. After a little revision, it was a fairly good essay. In this final essay I put more of my thoughts on how love made me feel, and how the love of my life described his feelings as well.
In helping me make this a flawless essay the readers wanted to know more about the person that makes me feel this way, what draws me to this person, and what characteristics makes me fall head over heels. When going over my peer review comments I didn’t ignore any of it, I felt if I followed everything they said it would make it an enjoyable essay to read. You always have to make sure you are satisfying your readers. I used pre-writing as my writing process; it was easy for me to brainstorm because I had so many emotions and feelings about this topic. The rough-draft was the hardest part in writing this essay at first I believe because I had to keep rereading my paragraphs and figuring out if they flowed together, or if they needed to be rewritten. Revising was the easiest part of re-writing my essay, because my peers and instructors gave me a lot of good feedback that I could incorporate into my essay to make it better. Also when re-writing this essay incorporating my feelings and characteristics of my love back into my essay and placing them where it would flow together was fairly hard for me. Enjoy love, it is a marvelous thing, do everything in your power to never let it go. The reader would find my thesis interesting and thought-provoking because love is a hard thing to find and it is a very powerful thing and it can change your whole life around.
Everlasting Love
There was this amazing feeling of exhilaration pulsating through my entire body, enveloping me in a surge of adrenaline. It’s like I have been robbed of my ability to concentrate on anything but my thoughts of him. This certain warmth in my heart told me I could brave anything this world could throw at me and I was unstoppable; I was in love.
His name is Tyler, the most charming and sensitive guy in the world. The first thing that took me away was those baby blue eyes, which were a never ending vast of ocean when I looked in them. He had dark brown hair that curled at the ends in which made him even more adorable. Another thing that drew us together is that we were so different but yet still the same. We loved to hunt, enjoyed the outdoors, and loved to capture scenic views of the sunset. He has always told me that I was as beautiful as the sunset, gleaming softly upon earth. One thing about Tyler is that he has always put me before anyone and anything, which I’m not sure, is a good or bad thing. I was his angel sent down from heaven he always tells me, “I brought joy and adventure into his life.” Tyler’s feelings for me are what every girl wishes for. He describes his love for me as deep and true. He says “my beauty is that of heaven, shining down on all darkness.” Through all the poems and letters I have received from him while we were dating, I know he cannot live without me, and that he lives for me.
Love is the most beautiful thing in the world. “To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others”-Francois Maurice. It’s in music, poetry, art, movies, and most importantly are hearts. Many have found true love, while others tend to seek for their soul mate. Centuries have gone by, relationships have blossomed, and so has love. Yet still no one can give the proper definition of love. The definition of love lies in only in us who have felt it and received it.
Tyler and I’s love story has been exactly like the quote said it would be “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.” Tyler walked into my life as if it was always meant to be this way. God told me that he was mine. These past four years have felt like a lifetime and yet this love is still mine and forever will always be mine.
Our love is like a rose with no thorns, always beautiful and never painful; however, there are some days when our rose grows thorns. When I see Tyler he’s like the gleaming morning sun hitting the horizon, nothing coul

7) We moved in together and finally started having intercourse (he wanted to wait). He also began supporting me, since I was still in school.
8) Sleeping together. Actually sleeping, I mean. It's really nice to have someone else in the bed. Followed by living with my best friend.
9) I have to nag to get him to do the dishes and he takes everything really personally (he has low self esteem).
10) I kind of wish I'd had an opportunity to live on my own--I moved out of my parents house and into his apartment. I also kind of wish I'd waited to have sex. It would have been really nice to have shared my first time ever with my hubby.
11) Make sure he's (she's) really the one. Also, make sure you can accept him as he is, because you're not going to change him. And don't forget that your spouse has needs, too. Treat him good, and he'll be good to you.
12) Tricky question. We're both christian, but he's a baptist and I'm sort of Catholic. It's been difficult because some of our beliefs are pretty different, and neither of us really likes going to church alone. Still, I think if our base religion were different, things would be alot trickier.

Another question about your college GPA...?
*Please don't answer if you've never had a GPA of 2.5 in your college career*
Has anyone ever had a GPA of 2.5 at one point in your college career?
If so then what was it when you finally graduated?
About how long did it take or how many more classes did you take to reach your final GPA?
Also to reach that goal, what were your grades like?
I have a 2.5 now and I need to change that! Thanks
Another question about your college GPA...?
I didn't know how to study when I went to college. It took me a year to figure it out.
I had a 2.3 for my first term (up from a 1.9 at midterm) -- and had a 2.5 for my second semester. My overall average for my other three years was a little over 3.5 -- giving me a 3.3 overall. I would have graduated with honors if I had done well as a Freshman.
When I applied to graduate programs, i address the issue of my poor grades as a freshman. I was accepted to several schools with top ten-top 20 graduate programs -- including Duke, Minnesota, Cornell and Berkeley. I've taught at MIT, Penn and Maryland
there is hope. But you have to apply yourself. Do not let yourself get behind in your work. Don't party too much. Take classes that will interest you.

I am 12 and working on a novel.
Preface
As I walked up Jessica Martins street that night in 1918 I remember the rain slowly picking up its pace hitting my new
%26quot; Vicky lanes%26quot; rain jacket. I had got it the day before for my 15th birthday.
As I rounded the corner I saw Jessica come running out her front door
in nothing but shorts and shirt . She stopped in front of me her cream blonde hair
drenched with rain and her unbelievably pale snow skin beaming with
light as she grabbed my hand and pulled me inside her two stories house and plopped
me down next to , Grace Letterson and Abigail Fondenbuger. Jessica was my best friend.
The best of a friend in the world at that time. Though she was different and wasn’t like the rest of us,
she was unthinkably kind. We met in kindergarten when we both had to go to the little girls room by the third grade hall. We held hands because we were scared because of all the bigger kids. We had daycare together with Ms.Johnet also. My skin a light tan and hair a dark leather black. We looked nothing alike.
My eyes blue from my mother, Jessica’s eyes Golden blue and green and some times black...
She was always cold but I never paid much attention....Jessica was the kind of person who would be all for playing some hopscotch one day then be begging for a nickel and pennies to buy a new hair band from Uncle Eddies hair shop...I am Bella McBride. She was Jessica Martin. And we were best friends. Welcome to 1918, new England.
The Cullen’s
“ Ok, ladies, how much did you earn this week?” Jessica asked in her best grown up voice. Abigail laughed. “ All together we made two dollars and five cents” Grace said dumping the money in the glass bird jar on the table in front of us. We had a club were we made clothes for people. One item was fifteen cents. “ Oh , that is good, that’s twenty more cents then last week, Ms.Jinkers must have been out of town. Her and her children need new shirts almost every week” I said taking my gloves off. Abigail looked at Jessica’s wet clothes and frowned. “ You really should change your clothes Jess” Abigail said combing her fingers threw her light strawberry blonde hair. “ Hey darling girls” Ms. Martin said kissing us all on the cheeks before taking a good look at Jessica. “ My, my, Darling go change your clothes you don’t want get the new carpet wet and its very rude to be soaked with water when you have guests” Ms. Martin laughed pushing Jessica up the stairs. “ Yes mother” Jessica sighed and smiled as she hopped up the stairs. We laughed and I shook out my black hair and pushed it behind me ears. The thing with Ms. Martin is, she is the most motherly woman in the town. I live just with my father and he is at work all the time so Monday threw Thursday I stay with Jessica and her mother and four siblings. All us girls go to a private school. It isn’t to bad, the uniforms are manageable but not very suitable, of coarse they are suitable for girls of our age. They just are not very, cute or pretty so to speak. They are plain blue shirts and yellow skirts with black, yellow and blue striped stockings that go up to our thighs.
“ Mother, I am done!” Jessica yelled as she skipped down the stairs in a white dress with blue buttons that stopped at her knees. Her hair down , dry , with a yellow bonnet on top of her perfect hair. “ Ok , please do not be loud Jess dear” Ms. Martin said in her small yet bell like voice as she walked out of the kitchen with a plate of cookies and tea.
“ Sorry mother, I just am excited to tell the girls something” Jessica apologized nodding slightly when her mother offered her a cookie.
“ Thank you Ms. Martin” I said smiling and taking a bite of my cookie. “ Did you hear girls, there is a new family in town?” Jessica asked sipping her tea like a princess, as her mother was very strict with manners.
“ Oh, no I did not, surely, who are they?”
Grace asked her face slightly curious. “ Well, I heard they moved here yesterday, they are the Cullen’s, the cutest one is Edward Cullen”
Jessica said flushing delicate pink. Abigail and me giggled slightly. “ Well, Jessica , you must be very observant” I said raising my tea cup and laughing at her. Jessica is the one that never misses one thing. “ Well it is the simple truth, no reason not to admit what is obviously a fact” She said defending herself. I rolled my eyes, “ Sure, it is simply a fact” Grace said smiling teasingly at her.
“ Well, girls, the Cullen’s are very beautiful in look’s, I will admit that, but the most important thing is Dr.Cullen its about time we got a good surgeon in this town” Ms. Martin said pouring more tea into my cup as I nodded politely. “ Oh, well, that is good, how many of them are there?” Abigail asked Ms. Martin grabbing another cookie.
I set my cup down and looked at her curiosity. “ Well, there are, seven” Ms. Martin said looking down as she grabbed her first cookie. “ Two daughters, three sons, Dr.Cullen and his Wife Esmee”
What do u think of this. Please help!?

Is Colin Powell an 'Obamacan', shortly to become an 'Obamacon'? Would that knock the stuffing out of McCain?
Would a Powell endorsement be the final nail in McCain's campaign coffin?
'Obamacans' - Sen. Barack Obama's term for Republicans who whisper their support for him.
'Obamacons'- leading conservatives of various stripes who have declared their support for the Democrat.
Obama's conservative fan club
Here is a sampling of views of conservatives who have either endorsed Obama or are considering endorsing him publicly.
Andrew Sullivan, conservative blogger for the Atlantic Monthly: %26quot;Obama's story confirms what conservatives have always believed about America. He is the black son of an immigrant, raised by a modest single mother and yet despite the obstacles inherent in his background he is approaching the pinnacle of American success. Isn't he the poster boy for what conservatives have always assured us is possible in America?%26quot;
Armstrong Williams, an African American conservative and talk radio host who is not an Obamacon but said he might become one: %26quot;I'm not going to just blindly go to the polls and vote for someone because they're a Republican anymore. I wouldn't have given two cents of thought to this in the past, but fortunately I'm maturing and fortunately for the first time in my life I could vote for a Democrat for president.%26quot; Williams refuses to base his vote on race, %26quot;however the stain of America is race, human slavery and de jure segregation and no one can ignore the fact that since the founding of this country, only white men have occupied the White House.%26quot;
Larry Hunter, supply-side economist who helped write Republicans' 1994 Contract With America: %26quot;How can I possibly support a candidate who proposes domestic policies (especially tax and economic policies) that are completely antithetical to everything I believe? ... It is indicative of how much I value individual freedom and how profoundly important I believe foreign policy to be at this juncture of American history that I am enthusiastically supporting Barack Obama for president. It doesn't hurt that McCain himself is only slightly less wrong on economic and tax policy. ... My sentiments on Obama are best captured in the note a conservative friend of mine, Wendell Gunn, wrote Obama when he sent him a campaign contribution: 'My contribution to your campaign is based on hope and change: My hope that you will change your mind on the tax and economic policies you are proposing.' %26quot;
Andrew J. Bacevich, professor of history and international relations at Boston University, writing in the American Conservative: %26quot;We should take (McCain) at his word: his commitment to continuing the most disastrous of President Bush's misadventures is irrevocable. ... He is the candidate of the War Party. The election of John McCain would provide a new lease on life to American militarism, while perpetuating the U.S. penchant for global interventionism marketed under the guise of liberation.%26quot;
Douglas Kmiec, former head of the Office of Legal Counsel in the Reagan and first Bush administrations: %26quot;I'm disappointed that a legacy of great achievement that I think Ronald Reagan and the first President Bush brought to the Republican Party (has ended): in terms of fiscal responsibility and conveying as Reagan did that a free market and personal responsibility and defense of home and local community often redounds to the happiness of the human person. Somehow we've managed in the last eight years to forget all the basics, to violate all of the first principles. We've lost sight of the things that really mattered to us. If I had to give us a report card, I'd have to say, in the way the nuns used to express it, 'not promoted to the following grade.' %26quot;
Susan Eisenhower, granddaughter of Republican President Dwight Eisenhower: %26quot;Deep in America's heart, I believe, is the nagging fear that our best years as a nation are over. We are disliked overseas and feel insecure at home. We watch as our federal budget hemorrhages red ink and our civil liberties are eroded. Crises in energy, health care and education threaten our way of life and our ability to compete internationally. ... My grandfather was pursued by both political parties ... (and) went on to win the presidency with the indispensable help of a 'Democrats for Eisenhower' movement. These crossover voters were attracted by his pledge to bring change to Washington and by the prospect that he would unify the nation. It is in this great tradition that I support Barack Obama's candidacy for president.%26quot;
David Friedman, economist at Santa Clara University and son of Nobel-winning economist Milton Friedman: %26quot;Bush was elected on a pro-market, small government platform and proceeded to greatly expand the size of government - and not only in the form of military spending. His view of the legitimate power of the executive branch, including the authority to deliberately violate federal law, I find frightening. Perhaps, if we are lucky, Obama will turn out to be the anti-Bush.%26quot;

Is Colin Powell an 'Obamacan', shortly to become an 'Obamacon'? Would that knock the stuffing out of McCain?
They talk several times a week on the phone according to Obama and Powell. That has to mean something. In my opinion and this is just my opinion, I believe that Powell will be in Obama's cabinet in some capacity. Perhaps Secretary of Defense.
Is Colin Powell an 'Obamacan', shortly to become an 'Obamacon'? Would that knock the stuffing out of McCain?
You're welcome!
no, thanks for the points.
Nope. Powell is a black republican and it would reflect horribly on him. It would be obvious that he's voting due to race if he did that
I'd love to see Colin Powell endorse Obama but unfortunately if he did, people would scream that he's only doing it because they're both black. The fact that he's NOT endorsing McCain speaks volumes, though.
Very Cool! Thanks for the info!
Yes, I'm waiting for Powell to do that. I think Powell will come out the last week of the compaign.
Troops Deployed Abroad Give 6:1 to Obama
During World War II, soldiers crouching in foxholes penned letters assuring their sweethearts that they'd be home soon. Now, between firefights in the Iraqi desert, some infantrymen have been sending a different kind of mail stateside: two or three hundred dollars -- or whatever they can spare -- towards a presidential election that could very well determine just how soon they come home.
According to an analysis of campaign contributions by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, Democrat Barack Obama has received nearly six times as much money from troops deployed overseas at the time of their contributions than has Republican John McCain, and the fiercely anti-war Ron Paul, though he suspended his campaign for the Republican nomination months ago, has received more than four times McCain's haul.
Despite McCain's status as a decorated veteran and a historically Republican bent among the military, members of the armed services overall -- whether stationed overseas or at home -- are also favoring Obama with their campaign contributions in 2008, by a $55,000 margin. Although 59 percent of federal contributions by military personnel has gone to Republicans this cycle, of money from the military to the presumed presidential nominees, 57 percent has gone to Obama.
A lot of folks here do not realize that Powell has stated in the past and on more than one occation that he was considering supporting Obama.
You have just insulted Colin Powell's integrity and intelligence in a HUGE way!

QUESTION FOR BOYS (and girls. But boys'll help better)?
So... if you liked this girl almost allll of the last school year, and knew she liked you back, but you both were in seventh grade and decided not to go out. So yeah you still flirted and talked and it was cute but you didn%26#039;t really text her because you always lost your phone and just weren%26#039;t really a texter in general, not that it mattered because you guys talked at school. You keep on liking her until school ends.
So then the summer goes by, you don%26#039;t talk to her once. School%26#039;s back, you have no classes together... you see her frequently in the halls but never talk. Then, one day, out of the blue she goes up and talks to you for a bit you SMILE AND ITS HELLA CUTE %26lt;3 while you%26#039;re the type of guy who has hardly any friends who are girls and who hardly ever smiles... you give her this BIG HEARTMELTING SMILE. :] After this, you change your bike path so you%26#039;re on the same as hers. A week goes by, and you don%26#039;t talk, until the last school day you have before valentines day, she gives you a valentine. No biggie, she gave them to a lot of her friends but since you hadn%26#039;t talked in a while it was a little unexpected. About five days later, over break, she texts you and you actually reply... she gets 21 messages from you in a 24 hour period, you get 19 from her. Now break%26#039;s over, and you%26#039;ve been at school one day, she hasn%26#039;t talked to you but it%26#039;s only been one day.
1) if you were in this situation, would it be possible that you still liked her? (cuase i still like him but I didn%26#039;t realize it until I spoke to him)
2) Would you think she liked you back? You%26#039;re not what you would call a ladies man... you%26#039;ve never had a gf, then again you%26#039;re only in eighth grade. In fact, you really don%26#039;t talk to girls much, and really don%26#039;t have any (not sure but don%26#039;t think so... maybe some from camp and a couple from school) friends that are girls...
3) WHAT SHOULD I DO TO GET HIM TO LIKE ME?? Tomorrow is 8th graders open gym day were the 8th graders can go play b-ball... and I have to take pictures... I%26#039;m 100% sure he%26#039;ll be there. Any suggestions? I already know what I%26#039;m wearing, lol. ALSO... I want to be able to talk to him in the halls more, at least say hi. How, and what do I say?
THANKS FOR READING THIS INSANE AMMOUNT OF TEXT I WILL BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL TO WHOEVER ANSWERS :]
QUESTION FOR BOYS (and girls. But boys%26#039;ll help better)?
You two are still young and have plenty of time to spark up an intimate relationship.
Tips?
1) Be patient, don%26#039;t make it obvious that you%26#039;re trying to get him to like you
2) Spark up conversations. *Key*
3) Hang out here and there, preferably just the two of you if you trust him, for example- the movie theatre...or maybe even just to hang out after school :)
I put *key* under conversing with one another because it%26#039;s a great way of building a solid relationship...it%26#039;s also fun and exciting, you get to know each other more as well, which is important in getting into a serious relationship.
Like someone said earlier, he seems like he%26#039;s playing it safe. Obviously you make him happy which is really good.
I strongly suggest you start talking to him a lot more, and just let time work itself out and see what happens.
Good luck :)
*edit: %26quot;If a guy likes you, he%26#039;ll make it happen.
Just be cool and do your own thing, dont wait around and obsess over it.%26quot;
While some guys may make it seem that shyness is never a factor for them, there are the masses that always kept their opinion to themselves. People who never found the confidence to talk won%26#039;t talk until they find the motivation.
If you talk to him first, you can become his motivation to open up, understand the process? :]
Again, good luck ^_^

this isnt much help, buttttt that sounds adorable(:
uhmm.. keep talking to him. but dont get clinging. just when you see him smile, and keep walking. if he wants to talk, he%26#039;ll say something. when he texts you first, thats a GREAT sign, he likes you. if you talk at night, say %26quot;goodnight(:%26quot; and if he says sweet dreams, thats also a GREAT sign.
pay attention to little things. but dont be too sure. boys are very confusing! trust meee/: but its worth it, i promise.
we all would like a guy to sweep us of our feet or like admit his eternal and undying love Notebook style in the rain, but trust me, that never happens. If he doesn%26#039;t do anything about it, then let it go, unless you want to make the first move. Guys need time; they%26#039;re more vulnerable than they let on.
This is ridiculously cute...Chances are he likes you, but if she was shy in the 7th grade, he%26#039;s prob still shy, and guys don%26#039;t put themselves out there unless they%26#039;re 99% they won%26#039;t get rejected, especially at that age, and his personality type. I was similar. U gotta make it pretty clear u like him for him to respond to u.
ok first of all: i don%26#039;t think you%26#039;re being too obsessed. i had this HUGE crush in my eighth grade year, and the guy lived in my neighborhood like twenty feet from the little park that%26#039;s in the middle, so me and my best friend (who also had a crush on him) would go sit in the corner of the park in front of his house and hope he would like, wander outside, then we would talk loudly and laugh and stuff and see if he would look over at us. and he was in our creative writing class and we would try and talk to him and stuff and i think we were a little obvious... especially my friend when she finally got a myspace he was the first person she added as a friend.... haha. so back to you%26#039;re problem.
i think if he liked you that much before, he%26#039;s still going to have some feelings for you. if you start talking to him a lot and stuff he%26#039;s bound to like you a lot more. chances are, the more time you spend with him, the more he%26#039;ll like you. just keep becoming friends and hopefully, if he%26#039;s even a little bit normal, he%26#039;ll ask you out eventually. it might take a while, especially if you said he%26#039;s not a %26quot;ladies man%26quot; he%26#039;ll be worried about being rejected.
good luck!!!

I'm so totally confused right now xD?
Alright. If anyone from my school sees this, con-frickin'-grats. you know the innermost workings of my psyche. I don't know if i like this guy or not, and i'm PRETTY sure most of you guys know who it is if you know me irl.
Okay, so there's this guy that I've known ever since 8th grade. He started out as really annoying and I wanted to kick his ***, right?
We bickered back and forth all the time, and i hated his guts. But as the year went on, we became... well, frenemies would be the term xD
Like we have some inside jokes with just each other, and we went to boulder and denver together for a Science club thing that me and him and a few other friends did, and we ended up in almost every class together in Highschool, and we ended up getting to know each other pretty well.
Well then 9th grade rolls around and we're in pretty much every class together. We always ended up chatting over e-mail in our computer class thing, and like... idk. But then he was telling me about how he made a bet with one of his friends that if he actually GOT a date to homecoming (he's not the most well liked guy in the school... in fact almost everyone hates him. But i think it's sorta cool how resilient he is and how he's not afraid to be himself :)) then his friend would give him $20 to pay for the couples' ticket. So i emailed him and the dialogue was as follows:
Me: Umm... kay. So i might have an idea but it'll involve some severe humiliation on both our parts.
Guy: What? I want the 20 bucks. I'll eat dog crap to get it xD
Me: No nothing that bad. But maybe... we could go just as friends? then we'll both have a pretty good time just hanging out and you get the 20 bucks.
Guy: Sounds fair. Restivo, i would like to officially ask you to homecoming.
Me: LOL :D
But then he brought me over to his friend and got the 20 bucks and we started hanging out with a few other friends, and he said that he wasn't even going to homecoming. I... sorta thought he was xD
So i tried to pretend i wasn't hurt by it, but i sorta was a little bit. So i put on this front that i was over it, which i guess in a way i was. I mean, I've been dumped for stupid reasons before (i.e. because i don't like anime, because i wouldn't **** him, etc.)and i've totally bounced back and said %26quot;**** it, they're not worth it%26quot; but this one really hurt. But i did my whole Freudian Sublimation thing and tried to focus on my art (so now you know that the periods of time that i upload MASSIVE amounts of art to deviantart at a time means that i've just been dumped) and it worked for a while but idk.
Now, i really don't know if I still like him or not... we banter back and forth all the time, we laugh at each other's jokes, we're pretty good buds, even though it seems like we're just being asses to each other... we're friends, don't get me wrong, but I don't know if i like him like... THAT anymore. Like today we totally traded yo mama jokes and neither one of us got offended by them even though i normally go batshit insane when someone talks about my mom. He's just a special case i guess... and in one of my only classes without him i found myself sorta thinking about him or what i'm gonna diss him about next.
And it seems like he likes me too... like when we were scheduling for next year he asked me when i had my AP Government class and i told him, then I saw my Comp/Lit teacher walking around and looking at everyone's schedule, and she looks at his and says, %26quot;Why'd you change your government class to block 3? you said you had it perfect%26quot; and I couldn't help thinking that he changed that class around because I was in that same class, which means he has to be in the same Comp/Lit and French classes as me next year too.
I don't know, you guys... I just need some help sorting my feelings out xD
I'm so totally confused right now xD?
TOOOOO LONGGGGGG......
I'm so totally confused right now xD?
Oi this is an insane amount of information but let me start with my decision. He likes you, whether you like him or not is something you need to figure out for yourself. Now here comes the tricky part, he likes you, but he's afraid at the same time. That's why he would cancel the homecoming thing. He put himself that close to going with you, became unsure of himself and was afraid that if he went to far he would end up being let down. It sounds like he isn't all to sure whether you like him or not either. He puts up these fronts where it looks like he's just shrugging this stuff off, but it sounds like he's one of those guys who won't let his more precious feelings show. My guess, from what you say is that he hasn't had very many girlfriends (or any at all) for a long time either. This can be a very discouraging factor for a boy teen in high school.
Okay, so there's this guy that I've known ever since 8th grade. He started out as really annoying and I wanted to kick his ***, right?
We bickered back and forth all the time, and i hated his guts. But as the year went on, we became... well, frenemies would be the term xD
Like we have some inside jokes with just each other, and we went to boulder and denver together for a Science club thing that me and him and a few other friends did, and we ended up in almost every class together in Highschool, and we ended up getting to know each other pretty well.
Well then 9th grade rolls around and we're in pretty much every class together. We always ended up chatting over e-mail in our computer class thing, and like... idk. But then he was telling me about how he made a bet with one of his friends that if he actually GOT a date to homecoming (he's not the most well liked guy in the school... in fact almost everyone hates him. But i think it's sorta cool how resilient he is and how he's not afraid to be himself :)) then his friend would give him $20 to pay for the couples' ticket. So i emailed him and the dialogue was as follows:
Me: Umm... kay. So i might have an idea but it'll involve some severe humiliation on both our parts.
Guy: What? I want the 20 bucks. I'll eat dog crap to get it xD
Me: No nothing that bad. But maybe... we could go just as friends? then we'll both have a pretty good time just hanging out and you get the 20 bucks.
Guy: Sounds fair. Restivo, i would like to officially ask you to homecoming.
Me: LOL :D
But then he brought me over to his friend and got the 20 bucks and we started hanging out with a few other friends, and he said that he wasn't even going to homecoming. I... sorta thought he was xD
So i tried to pretend i wasn't hurt by it, but i sorta was a little bit. So i put on this front that i was over it, which i guess in a way i was. I mean, I've been dumped for stupid reasons before (i.e. because i don't like anime, because i wouldn't **** him, etc.)and i've totally bounced back and said %26quot;**** it, they're not worth it%26quot; but this one really hurt. But i did my whole Freudian Sublimation thing and tried to focus on my art (so now you know that the periods of time that i upload MASSIVE amounts of art to deviantart at a time means that i've just been dumped) and it worked for a while but idk.
Now, i really don't know if I still like him or not... we banter back and forth all the time, we laugh at each other's jokes, we're pretty good buds, even though it seems like we're just being asses to each other... we're friends, don't get me wrong, but I don't know if i like him like...

Question for the Women/Men who are in or have been in the Army.?
I've always been like the school %26quot;Badass%26quot; cursing out teachers fighting other students. I at the moment hold my towns record at 32 suspensions since 6th grade beating the old one by 4. I guess i was never kicked out of the school district because even though I was bad I had good grades(I don't know how maybe the teachers wanted to get rid of me)I've been out of school going on 3 years now %26amp; I come from a kind of rich family so I've never had to work I always had a bank account to take care of me %26amp; I'm sick of it %26amp; myself. I'm an undisciplined person with a live that's headed nowhere. I always wanted to join the military mostly the marines but all they've done is lie to me about things so i started looking at the army %26amp; they've been more honest with what ill get out of joining them %26amp; how it'll change my life, cause I have no idea where my life is headed %26amp; once my bank account is empty my family will only take care of me for so long. So I just wanted to ask the one that are in or have been in the Army what has it done for you %26amp; how did it change your life?
Question for the Women/Men who are in or have been in the Army.?
wow you have asked an awesome question because you know i am an Recruiter and i run into students that just do not understand the life of the Army. They think that because they have it made with the parents, that they have it made for the rest of their life. you sure put a great point out there and i think i may use your question as a example. you seem like a great kid that has open your eyes early and realise how life is going to be. The Army from the beginning taught me discipline, to respect others no matter what the situation is, to take care of my own, not to steal, to be a hard worker, to plan for goals, to continue my education, to travel and not be stuck in the same town all my life, to meet new people from all aspect of life and get along with them. I have 6yrs left and still look young. The thing about the army is that its the biggest branch and offers the most bonus money. ofcourse money is not everything so if you do decide to enlist in the Army, go more for the job that you will enjoy and not for the bonus money as much, because its the job that you got to perform afterall. Also, your recruiter can print you out a reservation sheet before you go to MEPSa dn enlist. this means you will have a printout and proof in black and white of the job you chose, bonus money, day you ship, and dates of when basic and AIT(job training location) will start, also how long the training is. Basic is always 9 weeks long. what state are you in? I am in North carolina! if you need anything you can I.M. me or email me personally
Question for the Women/Men who are in or have been in the Army.?
The biggest thing for me is that it is paying my tuition now. I put in 6 years and now I can go to school and work part time. As far as your situation, the Army does teach you a lot of discipline, and it sounds like you could use it.

READERS/WRITERS: What do you think of this little scene I put together?
I escaped to my room, and watched TV for an hour, before I heard my mother slam her car door, coming home from work. I hoped up and went downstairs to greet her.
My mother had ebony black hair and electric blue eyes, just like me. Just by walking in, she lit up the room. She was probably my favorite person in the world.
She worked at the Hospital as a day nurse, but my father and I said she should have been a motivational speaker, because my mother has an amazing way with words. She has inspired so many people, that I had lost count years ago.
The way she speaks just makes you want to make a difference, makes you want to do something that counts. Whenever someone just gives up or quits, my mother would be there, just talking away, changing someone’s life.
It wasn’t just that though. She didn’t just change your mind about something. She showed you that someone cared. That she was there, whenever someone needed her, and I think that is why she worked so well. Just knowing that you had support can make a huge difference, and that’s why people loved her so much. She showed someone was there.
As my mother walked inside the kitchen, going through the back door, she set her purse on the island and started searching the cupboard for something she could make for dinner. Always working, always on the move, she was.
“Hey Mom, how was work?” I asked and I guess my mother hadn’t noticed me, because she was startled by my question. She whirled around with her hand on her heart. She was breathing heavily, and her eyes were wide.
“Oh, Hun, I didn’t even see you there! You startled me!” She exclaimed, but when she slowed her heart rate, and calmed down, she smiled. “How was your day?” she asked.
I hesitated with my answer. Could I tell my mother I had lost the race? I didn’t plan on telling anybody. I was a great liar, and an amazing avoider, (or so I’ve been told), but there was something more than it being to embarrassing to tell. Elliot had found out, and I remembered how my heart dropped just trying to tell him. Then I imagined trying to tell her, and it made my whole mood come down.
She noticed the preoccupation in my expression. “What’s wrong?” She asked.
“Nothing. It was a really boring day, I went to the Commons, then came home.” I said emptily, fighting the urge to tell her everything. There were some new problems with our vacation. I didn’t have the car, OR the money. Shouldn’t I tell her that? No, No I shouldn’t.
“Have you gotten the chance to pack for your little vacation?” She asked while taking out a little box of Mac-and–cheese for dinner.
I smiled sheepishly. If there was one thing I didn’t get from my mother, was that ability to plan. I was a procrastinator, not to mention a planner. I wasn’t much of a preparer either. I just went with whatever happened, while my mom, on the other hand, planned and prepared weeks ahead, making endless and countless lists. Lists that said what to pack, what to eat, and when to stop driving for a lunch break. She would’ve made notes that explained directions, and routes. Everything that could be planned would be.
The only thing was; Elliot said that we would do this all on our own. I have no clue what he was talking about when he said that, because if it were me, our mother would have planned the entire thing, and we would be using her car, but Elliot had some sort of pride thing. He wanted to test himself. He was a smart person, in fact, the smartest in his grade, but for some reason, he was also setting up more challenges, and more problems.
In any case, I still didn’t pack. “No, not yet.” I finally replied, after a long hesitation.
My mother tilted her head to the side, barely side-tracked by this new information. “Okay, well, at least start tonight, or tomorrow morning.”
“Okay.” I said as I watched my mother cook our dinner.
After a few minutes of silence, I heard the front door slam close and my father calling out.
“Hello?” He said in his booming voice, which echoed through the house.
“In here Roy!” My mother replied, wiping off the wooden spoon she was using for stirring, and putting it in the sink.
My father walked into the kitchen and set his weatherman briefcase on the island, next to my mother’s bag. He looked almost exactly like Elliot, with his mahogany brown hair and frost blue eyes. He smiled a lot, but was probably the exact opposite of mom.
With him, cheering someone up, was as effortless and smiling. Though he didn’t say much, he said enough with one smile. Like my mom’s words, it showed that everything was going to be okay. That was definitely something I needed to know, right now.
“How were your days?” he asked us.
“Fine.” I answered shortly, trying to get off this subject. He shot me a confused look, while my mother handed me a pile of dishes and silverware, for the dinner table.
After dinner I went to bed and fell slowly asleep.
PS the race thing is just something. You can ignore it. PLUS DONT BE TOO MEAN

READERS/WRITERS: What do you think of this little scene I put together?
It's ok but cut your descriptions of how wonderful mom and dad are. If you put it in, it needs to be backed up by the story, and so far they haven't done anything special.
READERS/WRITERS: What do you think of this little scene I put together?
Well It's quite realistic .I believe that all you're explaining here is a scenario of your daily routine!I like it .Even though you might want to describe the characters more.
Okay, your writing style isn't exactly perfect.
Its like 'I went upstairs and jumped on my bed. Mom came home. I went downstairs' Too many I did this, I did that, you need to describe things ALOT more.
The writing is amateur, and it needs an extreme amount of work. However, practise makes perfect!
Your grammar and punctuation is fine from what I read, and I don't think you need to change that, but take on board what I said before and this story would be ok.
Good luck!
cute :)
Its a good story. Its extremely realistic! I an a little confused about who Elliot is, though. And what little vacation is she taking? Its quite good! I can't wait to read more!java what causes skin tags

What do you think of this scene?
wow it is very realistic, I can actually picture this boy doing theses things. Is it a boy, because thats what it sounds, or at least to me. If it is, than wow your good. PLus I can really picture reading this in a book as a bridge to the next scene.

In any case, I still didn’t pack. “No, not yet.” I finally replied, after a long hesitation.
My mother tilted her head to the side, barely side-tracked by this new information. “Okay, well, at least start tonight, or tomorrow morning.”
“Okay.” I said as I watched my mother cook our dinner.
After a few minutes of silence, I heard the front door slam close and my father calling out.
“Hello?” He said in his booming voice, which echoed through the house.
“In here Roy!” My mother replied, wiping off the wooden spoon she was using for stirring, and putting it in the sink.
My father walked into the kitchen and set his weatherman briefcase on the island, next to my mother’s bag. He looked almost exactly like Elliot, with his mahogany brown hair and frost blue eyes. He smiled a lot, but was probably the exact opposite of mom.
With him, cheering someone up, was as effortless and smiling. Though he didn’t say much, he said enough with one smile. Like my mom’s words, it showed that everything was going to be okay. That was definitely something I needed to know, right now.
“How were your days?” he asked us.
“Fine.” I answered shortly, trying to get off this subject. He shot me a confused look, while my mother handed me a pile of dishes and silverware, for the dinner table.
After dinner I went to bed and fell slowly asleep.
PS the race thing is just something. You can ignore it. PLUS DONT BE TOO MEAN I WRO
