Education & Reference - 28 September 2007

I work with three-year olds in the afternoons. The lead teacher, as I come in to take over, gives me a list of items to clean, turn around and also tell parents related information. I don't mind the later part of discussing things with parents about their child. That is a teacher's job. I think, some of the items on the teacher's list are menial, such as watering her plant. There are some things on the list during her shift she doesn't accomplish and this draws bugs. How do I tell her in the best way that she needs to sweep the floor and clean out the microwave before I arrive? That could help both of us. Mopping would help too. She is by herself as well as I am, someone could bring it for her. I want to get along so much not just for us but for our jobs as well.

I had an argument with my mom earlier today, let's just say I feel like crap and a little depressed from what she said about me.

Anyway. I want to volunteer some before I apply for graduate school (PsyD preferably) because I think they'll take that into consideration. I have an average GPA, not outstanding all on its own. (3.34 acculm and a 3.1 in Psychology, joining the Psi Chi chapter of the school involving Psychology). My mom said that all the school wants is to give students to places to "work them like dogs and treat them poorly" and that me applying for volunteering won't help me one bit, that schools look for GPA and if you have $$$.

I've volunteered 200+ hours in a hospital for high school, as a requirement for an engineering program I was in. I had decent grades and got into a state school. My mom likes to rub in how my friend took honors classes and now goes to a UC (I go to a CSU) and how she never did any volunteering and look where that got her.

I really need some help on this one.. so please tell me what you would do in this situation.

I am a junior in high school, I am in all honors classes and 1 AP class-- I have a 4.3 GPA-- and I want to major in Computer Science at a college in New York state. The problem is that in ever good college in NY, and even the not so great ones, require Physics and/or Chemistry. At my high school they put me on the Integrated Science Track, so Physics and Chemistry are not a part of my curriculum. I emailed one school and they said that I HAVE to take thoses classes in order to be admitted into their program.
If I can not get into a good college for computer science would I have to find a new major?
I am going to talk to my guidance councelor as soon as I can to see what I can do, but if I can not do anything.. what would you do in my situation?

Thank you.

I have a 4.17 GPA, a score of 2030 on my SAT, a 30 on the ACT, a 750 on SAT2 Math2, and a 760 on the SAT2 Spanish. I am currently a senior and am enrolled in 3 AP's. I have taken the AP Spanish test (5) and the AP Bio test (3). I plan to take 3 AP tests at the end of the year. I am involved in the MEChA club, tutor, work for 16 hours a weeks, and an altar server at my church. So, that's pretty much it. Oh, and I'm mexican, if that counts for anything.

I'm thinking that I want to be a teacher, although I don't really know of what subject. It could be math, English, Spanish, maybe even physics. Does any particular UC have a better program for alumni aspiring to go into the field of education? Also, what are the main "focuses" of the following UCs? Like, what are they known for? (Ex: Berkeley, engineering)

UCLA
UCSD
UCI
UCSB
UCR

Thanks :)

Could professors see your previous grades and try to sabatoge your grade (in the class your taking from them)?

So everyone knows how the drummers, buglers, and fifes played stuff to help their side in battle (think revolutionary war), and that it's bad etiquette to shoot at them. What did they do after the two sides got into combat (especially when they got into the whole hand to hand combat and bayoneting) part? Just stand around? march onwards unheeding the opposing side? conveniently move a little behind the line?

I just turned 18 and im a freshman at a community college.. but fafsa isnt giving me ANY financial aid.. so my mom is paying for it. As of now I'm seeking employment but I havent gotten hired because of my lack of experience. So as of now I need money to put on my metro card to get to school. It seems like everytime I ask for money my mom gets soo mad and we get into this huge fight. I understand she has bills to pay but she has to understand that until I get a job someone has to provide me with some sort of funds to get to school throughout the week. I mean I've been trying to get a job and might be working with BJS as of next week but we all know it isnt a 123 process. For the last two weeks I've been paying for my transportation so I figured she wouldnt mind paying for it this week but boy was I wrong can somebody please help me out. I feel like crying!
