Will you walk into my parlour?" said the Spider to the Fly,
'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy;
The way into my parlour is up a winding stair,
And I've a many curious things to shew when you are there."
Oh no, no," said the little Fly, "to ask me is in vain,
For who goes up your winding stair can ne'er come down again."


"I'm sure you must be weary, dear, with soaring up so high;
Will you rest upon my little bed?" said the Spider to the Fly.
"There are pretty curtains drawn around; the sheets are fine and thin,
And if you like to rest awhile, I'll snugly tuck you in!"
Oh no, no," said the little Fly, "for I've often heard it said,
They never, never wake again, who sleep upon your bed!"


Said the cunning Spider to the Fly, " Dear friend what can I do,
To prove the warm affection I 've always felt for you?
I have within my pantry, good store of all that's nice;
I'm sure you're very welcome -- will you please to take a slice?"
"Oh no, no," said the little Fly, "kind Sir, that cannot be,
I've heard what's in your pantry, and I do not wish to see!"


"Sweet creature!" said the Spider, "you're witty and you're wise,
How handsome are your gauzy wings, how brilliant are your eyes!
I've a little looking-glass upon my parlour shelf,
If you'll step in one moment, dear, you shall behold yourself."
"I thank you, gentle sir," she said, "for what you 're pleased to say,
And bidding you good morning now, I'll call another day."


The Spider turned him round about, and went into his den,
For well he knew the silly Fly would soon come back again:
So he wove a subtle web, in a little corner sly,
And set his table ready, to dine upon the Fly.
Then he came out to his door again, and merrily did sing,
"Come hither, hither, pretty Fly, with the pearl and silver wing;
Your robes are green and purple -- there's a crest upon your head;
Your eyes are like the diamond bright, but mine are dull as lead!"

Alas, alas! how very soon this silly little Fly,
Hearing his wily, flattering words, came slowly flitting by;
With buzzing wings she hung aloft, then near and nearer drew,
Thinking only of her brilliant eyes, and green and purple hue --
Thinking only of her crested head -- poor foolish thing! At last,
Up jumped the cunning Spider, and fiercely held her fast.
He dragged her up his winding stair, into his dismal den,
Within his little parlour -- but she ne'er came out again

Harvard is my dream, my passion, yet some tell me that it is only a dream, a hope. I'm about to become a freshmen this year. I am willing to do anything to help me have a greater chance at attending this prestigious university. I would like to have a double major in Business and Law (again some people tell me it's impossible but I am determined to prove them wrong). In middle school, I was extremely successful, perhaps #1 all 3 years. However, now it's high school and I realize that competition is more intense, everything is so much more different. I am asking for anybody for advice to help me achieve my dream. What should I focus on? What can I do to help my chances? Basically, I'm trying to get as near 100 grades as possible in high school (it's going to be difficult I'm sure), volunteer at a hospital for 3 years, perhaps join a volunteer club, do debate and Spanish for 4 years, and just try to work as hard as possible. I would appreciate any advice, from anybody and everybody.

Considering the number of outside activities most homeschoolers are involved in and that homeschoolers are able to use the whole world as their classroom, shouldn't homeschooling be renamed to reflect what it really is: Family based (as opposed to institution based) education?

This might help resolve the misconception that most homeschoolers are socially isolated and that they spend all of their time at home, which in most cases is the opposite of the truth.

I love my school that I am in right now. I love school, which is a big thing. I don't want that to change if I go to a new school. The school I am in now is not the best school by far but I love it. I understand that my parents don't like it there and thats why I agreed to go somewhere else. But i think about that desicon all time! Do i go where my head is telling me to go for the better education, or where my heart is telling my to go for the love of school?
