Education & Reference - 13 July 2007

It wouldn't be a "vacation". It would be an actual course that I would earn credits for. Ten students (selected via essay/application) would be travelling to the rainforests of Asia for 2 weeks and each have an assigned project to study and present upon return to fellow students/professors. We would also be spending the entire time with a world-renowned scientist that has been on Nat'l Geographic. Do you think it would give me an edge? In your answer, please tell me if you are answering from experience (i.e. you are a grad student, professor, etc.) Thanks so much.

I am looking between two programs; The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accredits one, while International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE) accredits the second. I know the AACSB is more coveted within the business community, but is a degree from an institution accredited by IACBE worthwhile? Do the different levels of accreditation really matter? Or is it merely important to get a degree from an accredited university? The AACSB degree will be much harder to attain (fitting into my schedule), is it worth completely going out of your way to get the higher accreditation?

I recently finished my Freshman Year of High School (I made it through!) So in my 10th grade year, by the end, I can take the Running Start exam. Running Start is a program in which high school students can take college level classes at a local community college.

Starting this August to June I'm going to be preaparing to raise my writing and reading standards to college level. I have a Grammar and Composition book by Prentice-Hall which will help my grammar and as for reading I 've been reading as much as possible (Jane Eyre, Wiuthering Heights, Great Expectations...etc)

Questions:

1. Any advice to get my writing to a college level?
2. Any advice to get my reading skills to a college level?
3. Any advice in general?

I grew up going to a school that never taught,currently in a school that's great and actually teaches,but I believe I'm behind.Since,I'm spending my isolated summer at home..as usual.I decide to make a book,well it's a folder with different sections.In this book I would like to add as many things as possible,important things
I added these sections in the book(Health-common disorders|History|Government|Science| And more to come..
I have Dsycalculia and I lack the ability of being good in math very badly but I believe that needs special care so i'll work extra hard on that.
I bring my self down a lot to the point where I call myself a failure, I don't have much self confidence perhaps even low self esteem.Gathering information in this book will help me gain knowledge,Although knowledge may be acquire by observing one may study.I am positive each one of you are intelligent individual with unique qualities.What else should I fill in this book?
