when i am applying for college should i let them know that i had mono and missed a complete month of school and that is what screwed me over? I had good grades the next semester but the first semester was really bad because i was sick at the very end of the first quarter and the very beginning of the second quarter so i was still making up both quarters at the same time. It severely dropped my gpa and i am very stressed about it.

If I wanted to study myths and legends such as vampires, werewolves, etc, what would I major in at college?

I really like researching on my own time, theories and perceptions on lycanthropy, and other unusual legends.

Would it be some sort of history?

but ok here it is.. i need to organize the paragraphs so that they all flow right.

native americans were indigenous people that lived in north america until europeans started to explore the new world.

ancient natices migrated across a land bridge that once connected asia to north america during the ice age.

native americans survived by using natural resources everywhere they went to adapt to climate. in the northeast, they ate wild plants and used trees from the forests to make tools and canoes. in the southwest, they grew corn from grass seeds. at one time they lived in the arctic. this helped them become excellent hunters of game animals.

I am only 13 years old, and investment banking is something i've always been interested in. I have money invested in stocks and I already know a lot about the NYSE. I always have wondered how many years it would take me to go through college get my bachelors and masters, then my MBA from a good college like University of Michigan, Duke University or University of Florida. Any answers or suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Okay, I plan on officially asking my college about this, but I figured I would also ask on here and see what people have to say.

I got an F in a core sociology class. Therefore, I have to re-take this class. I transferred schools after so I will not be taking it at the same school.

When I retake the sociology class, will the F I previously recieved STAY on my transcripts and lower my GPA? Or will it be replaced with the newly achieved grade?

It worries me because this one mistake may cost me a lot in the future. I don't know how much one F affects an entire college gpa, but I really am hoping to fix it.

I think that teaching guitar would be the best job for me now. I would enjoy it and make good money. However, I wanted to know if I require any degrees or credentials to be a teacher. I'm 18 and I'm quite proficient at my instrument. Do I just put up ads or what? Also, would it be better to work in a music store instead?
