Education & Reference - 11 May 2007

Normally, we know the word and we refer to the dictionary for its meaning. But what if I want a word with a particular meaning? Are their any web-sites that allow us to do that? Pls. send me links.

Thanks.

Please be honest, some people lie to make themselves look better and get more credit but i'd like honestly. How often do "A" Students in High School Study, how many hours you think and you think they STUDY everyday?

How often do University students study? How many hours you think and everyday?

I swear i've heard it used, but I can't find it in any online dictionary. Am I simply misspelling it? Am I imagining things?

I'm a junior in high school, about to become a senior. Currently, I'm number one in my class with a 102.3 weighted GPA. I attend a very small high school in Mississippi, and there will probably be only 100 or so students graduating in my class. I would really like to attend a college in Florida and I made a 26 on my ACT. My questions are: 1) How do I begin to file for any kind of scholarship? 2) What colleges in Florida are good for degrees in creative writing? 3) If I get a scholarship to a college do I have to attend that college? and 4) Do I really need two years of a foreign language to attend a college? (I plan on taking physics and AP chemistry instead, will this be good enough?) Any other help regarding college information would be extremely useful. Oh, and I would have asked my counselors about all of this, but my counselors are complete idiots. Thanks so much; I really appreciate it!

One of my teachers sent out an email that said "Your grade is determined by the virtue of how you did in hws/projects/exams."

Does "virtue" possibly mean that if I had all A's on everything except the final then I could get an A in the class? I had like a 99 in the class before the final, which I probably bombed because I underestimated it.

Thanks!

In about 1 year I will have my associate degree in Early Childhood Education. After that I would like to go for some business classes becuase my dream is to open a home daycare center (i know, there are risks, many people say its a bad idea - but on the other hand i know many people who do it and love it. Its something i've wanted to do since childhood).

Anyways, I am currently working at a childcare center ( i have been for 4 years now. I am 20 and I got the job there when i was 16)

There are a few things going downhill with my place of work. The overall environment is becomming unpleasing and sometimes I even find myself leaving in tears becuase of other co-workers (all of my co-workers becides one adore me. This ONE however is a new male that we just hired who wants to be in charge of everything.)

Because I just got a good raise, I want to stay with my current job for another year.
