The Business Computer Annual Ball was well under way with both the blues and booze flowing freely. “So John, you’re a vice preshident of IBM, what do you think of Henry gettin’ his new position.” slurred Alan, the head of development with the Computer Links. “I mean, here’s this guy, who got the top job, with all the prestige and money to go with it, for no other reason than who his bloody parents are.” “I think it’s ridiculous,” agreed John. “I mean really, I know for a fact he can’t read or write to save his soul and he certainly hasn’t put in an honest day’s work in his whole life! If anyone should have gotten the job, it should have been his sister!” In what situation could such an incapable person be granted the top position?

I am a 23 year old college student earning a degree in Child Dev. Administration hoping to one day open my own preschool. For one of my classes, I am currently researching Advocacy & the way in which it can affect current issues & policies of child care.

Having worked in many child care & education environments, I share the frustration with others in the issue of LOW wages of child care teachers & aids. People in this position often make only minimum wage & are expected to put in hours comparable to those of jobs which pay MUCH more...

Turnover rates in Child Care & Education Environments are not only high- they are growing...Teachers who love to teach children & aid in their education are growing more & more frustrated because they can barely afford to live on what they are paid...

As the popular saying goes, "Parents can't afford to pay, Teachers can't afford to stay...There's got to be a better way..."

What do you think can be done to help advocate for wage increases

Does anyone know any topics for really moving stories? Like it'd make the person reading it feel really emotional? Please, no love stories!

Could you please finish the next couple of sentences in this:

There was silence. I could feel Tara’s perspiration trickling down my neck with terror. I embraced her tightly as I met reality.

And with the passage above, what could it be about?

I am looking for something that is a joke and that will make my audience (college students) laugh about a certain process/procedure. How to put a condom on is a great example however, it isn't appropriate since I go to a Christian University. Thanks

Please, if there are any math majors who are not teaching in high school, let me know what it was like when you got your diploma.
I plan on majoring in Math, minoring in Computer Information Systems and possibly pursuing a Master's Degree in Math after that. Would this leave me with many opportunities for work?
Thank you.
