I'm curious because I'm interested in buying property but I have plans to pursue professional degree in the future. I wanted to see if having a mortgage would disqualify me from receiving a private/ alternative education student loan.

Hi My last english question for today!

if we need to say, "The students wrote down their names and addresses on a piece of paper.

why we can say

Students should write down their name and address to apply for the position. (name and address are both singular)

I think the second sentence is correct too or should it be

Students should write down their names and addresses to apply for the position.

Simple English... or not. I've been locked in a quandry where the above is concerned.

My understanding:

- Always put yourself last.
- ...and I : eg. I went to the shop makes sense, whereas me went to the shop doesn't, ergo John and I went to the shop is correct, and John and me went to the shop is incorrect.

Is my reasoning flawed?
Did I miss that very important lesson when I was admiring the rather lovely English teacher we had at school?
Are there examples where both part 2 and 3 of my question are correct?

Hardly deep and philisophical, I apologise, but it's been bothering me.

Unstable Fable

An unstable fable is what I’m about to tell
Living in different places combined called Hell
An unstable fable is the place I call home
Surrounded by those intoxicated by the Drill Sergeant Syndrome
This fable is where I am enslaved
Constantly having my dreams repaved
An unstable place where my dreams are suppressed
A location where my true aspirations won’t be addressed
My life is this unstable fable that I prate about
Wondering would it be better if I suddenly blacked out
Submerged in a world where they really don’t care
Ignoring and dismissing the burdens I bear
Engulfed in a zone where being outspoken is not condoned
Fighting back the saltwater tears that I should not own
Held down by the burden of the being the only male in the house
Yet she still thinks I should be quieter than a mouse
Sorry to let her know but this fable is about to end
Venturing towards my dreams, I must ascend
Ignoring her opinions, or rather her demands

I'm looking for a non-religious "African-American" private school in the Los Angeles area. I want a school that is K-8 , and specializes in educating black children, providing an education that public schools can't, and a perspective that traditional private schools don't.

In the Ranks

Within the ranks is where I involuntarily am
Demanded to say the words yes sir and yes ma’am
Not that I wouldn’t do it if I was given a choice
But just waiting for the chance to express my voice
Hidden within the ranks is where you longed to be
Don’t force your true corporate dreams upon me
Dividing home and work is what you can’t seem to grasp
Your overprotective rights need to unclasp
Living in the force not wearing any blues or greens
Not being allowed to experience being a teen
We are the true backbones of the military force
We support the soldiers in their course
Engulfed in the ranks we’ve become accustomed to
Not really knowing what we are ‘allowed’ to do
Dreading the stories of ATV’s and tanks
Just waiting to turn 18 and be release from within the ranks.
