1. How do you feel about college?
2. What do you do while in class (participate or do nothing)?
3. Do you have any classes in computer labs? Do you dink around on the internet more than pay attention to the activities?
4. How do you feel about your teachers?
5. Do you feel that college is a waste of time, or that certain classes waste your time?

I just want some general opinions. Community college students are more than welcome to answer! This isn't aimed at just state university students.

(I have a reason for this question, but I just want to see what people say right now.)

Thanks!

I am in high school. If I told a teacher that I trusted that I was pregnant, whould she be obligated to tell someone? I know that if a student tells a teacher he/she is being abused, the teacher has to tell, but is it the same with pregnancy? And don't judge me because I am not pregnant; I just am curious.

Is this a good thesis for a 10th grade reserch paper on Coco Chanel and her impact on society in the 1920's?

Not only did Gabrielle Coco Chanel reach great heights in an industry where only men were known to succeed but she also embodied an independent and influential woman who revolutionized fashion and trends for the newly liberated women of the roaring twenties.

Please be critical and make some suggestions! Thanks :)

Poetry- Langston Hughes
Langston Hughes poems: I too, The ***** Speaks of Rivers and Mother to son are all poems that have a subject in common. These poems are encoring, some have rhythm, and it shows how whites where prejudice to the blacks.
In Hughes’s “I, I too” poem it demonstrates how the slave owners were prejudice to the slaves. By telling him go to the kitchen to eat when company comes. Then he expresses him self by saying “They’ll see how beautiful I am and be ashamed.” Any slave could have said this because they know that no matter what color or race you are… you are beautiful and could become successful. Therefore when the white slave owner sees you true self and you succeed… They’ll see how beautiful you are and be ashamed. This poem is encouraging because no matter what the white slave owners say… the black slave says “…But, I laugh, and eat well and grown strong.”
Hughes poem “mother to son” does not demonstrate any racism against the woman. But, as she is explaining to her son you can see how hard she has worked by her explaining “Like for me ain’t been no crystal stair. It’s had tacks in it, and splinter, and boards turn up… (899). This poem should be encouraging to everyone because the woman is explaining to her son how life cannot be easy “… turning corners, and some times goin’ in the dark where there ain’t no light. So don’t you turn back. The poem is not like a song but it has a rhythm. Almost like a rhyme but it makes sense. “Life ain’t been no crystal stair. It’s had tacks in it, and splinters and boards turn up…” And sometimes goin’ in the dark where there ain’t been no light so boy, don’t turn back.”
In the ***** speaks of Rivers is not a racial or discriminating but it does say. “I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln went down to New Orleans…” The poem is encouraging because it talks about how somebody’s soul has grown deep like the rivers.” I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it. Somebody can be weak but when you realize your mistakes you now flow like the rivers and everything just becomes easy. Now that you are a stronger person (mentally) you can raise the pyramids. The rhythm in the poem would be the flow of the human blood in the human veins.” The flow is the body growing as the person has realized the can raise the pyramids.
Hughes’s has a variety of poems which describe how the black were treated, the way he described something encouraging and the way he would bring music or rhythm to his poems. Overall his poems are very encouraging and eye opening. The reason why they are eye opening because he describes how the blacks were treated by the whites in his poem “I, too.”

I'm a freshman in high school,I have a plan to graduate in next two years.
The main reason is that I'm one year older than other freshman,cause my birthday is on August,so I waited one year later to start school,I feel I'm so old!
I talked to my counselor.But she said that's not a good idea,here is her theory:
1st,people who do that usually have some things to take care,like a baby,or going to military directly
2nd,to my surprise,if you gradate early, you're probably not getting into good college,cause good college wants people to take AP courses,if you want to squezze your classes together in order to finish early,you may not take AP classes.Also, you don't have that much time to do commnunity service and school activities that good college care about
3rd, she said age is not even a problem, I shouldn't even consider about it,but to me,it is!
So, do you think age is a problem? And is that ture that if you graduate early, you are not getting in good college?
