Could someone give me a translation of each line?

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Doth with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

I need to memorize it, but i want to know what each line means.

I'm getting As and Bs in high school. I wish I would try harder and get all As, but does it really matter that much? I plan on going to a community college for two years and then switching to a four year college. As long as I get good grades when I go to a community college, should my high school grades really matter?

My daughter turned 3 in October, we are thinking of putting her in preschool. The only worry I have is that the age cut off date for which class she will be placed in is right before her birthday. Next year she will still be placed with the other three year olds and she'll be turning 4 before all of the other children. I'm not saying that my daughter is smarter than the other kids but she has a very good understanding of letter sounds and word meanings and she's understandable and even articulate. The problem is that I noticed that she picks up speech impediments like lisps and saying her vowels wrong from some of her cousins that are a year older (Saying Gawl instead of girl or Dare instead of there.) Is she going to talk like the other three year olds, that is if they speak differently? I'd hate to have her feel confused with how she should talk just because of a cut off date. She should be put with the 4 year old class, right?

I graduated with two Bachelor degrees. I haven't had a stable career. I am frustrated because I am having a hard time making my ends meet.
The main frustration is that I am just a typist that does not require a college degree, which is very low paying job.
How did you succeed with what type of job to pay your bill?
Does it require a Bachelor degree?
I don't have any money to travel, buy a car, buy a house or even start my own family (which is my dream).
