Did you know that the average American IQ is 100? I had to take an IQ test last year as a class project. It took almost an hour. I scored 145.
After the test we talked about the results. It seems that only people who scored low complained. Why?

....I'm going on vacation to Pakistan. The thing is that I have summer reading. I have to read 3 books for high school, freshman year..The thing is that I dont have time to. I try so hard, but t is just too hard! I'm lucky that I have rerad one of the books they are asking me to read. So that leaves two books. Can you guys please tell me any free website or your knowledge of the following books:
The Secret Life of Bees
The Lost Horizon

I need the summary, number of pages, and the main charcters and their role in the book..Please, I know you guys will tell me to do it yourself, but I'm literally hopeless. I will try my best to read as much as I can, but this is just if I dont finish reading and I'm hopeless.!!!

Thank you soooooooooooooooo much!!!!!


Lots of love, ♥

I found out when you're a dependent, your residence is based on where your parents live...which in my case would not be the same state I want to est. residency in. So, now if you were classified as independent -I read you have to live solely on your own income for a year before being able to apply for residency. On the other hand, I also read if you are living solely on your own income, you would be allowed to pay in state tution regardless of how long you lived in the state...So is it you would pay in state tuition for that one year but not be allowed to est. official residency until that year is over?
Also, if you are an independent, and you want to file the fasfa for financial aid, would you just skip your parents info if you're supposed to be independent? Would putting their info down (given they live in another state) also disqualify you from becoming a resident even if you're an independent? Who would be the person to talk to for this?

Need help translating these paragraphs from the declaration of independance so that i can understand them:

Paragraph 1:
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

Paragraph 2:
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

My mom has her masters degree and has been looking for a job in el paso texas. I live away from her, because I live in Missouri and I keep telling her to go look for a job in other cities and states. She doesnt want to leave my sister there in el paso texas because my little sister is still in high school and should be graduating in 3 years. My dad is retired and so now my mom wants to support the family. Where could my mom find a job in the usa with that degree? Do you think she should move out of el paso cause in el paso texas they dont have a lot of job openings. Not unless you are in the medical field or teaching field.

They would rather hire a Master Degreed Person for the same money/price as the bachelor degreed person? If so, that is scary. Why would they do that? Has the Bachelor degree lost it's luster/monetary value because too many Adam and Eve have them?

'd' instead of 'the'. Any other examples? It makes them sound like illiterate idiots. Can they write properly but don't want to, or is this actually how educated they are these days? I'm only 25 but I never wrote like that.
