I am a sophomore at Merrimack College.
I am looking to go to The College New Jersey, Bentley, Northeastern, Montclair State University of New Jersey.
After my freshman year I have a 3.3 cumulative GPA (1st-3.12 2nd-3.49)
So far it looks like I will be receiving a 3.4 this semester.

I have a few questions.
I want to leave my school soon but I can finish out the year.
When should I apply?
Do I have a better chance for spring semester or next fall?
Should I apply ASAP if I am shooting for next fall. Would december/ January be an appropiate time?

I have spent a few years working with children who have special needs and have found it to be very rewarding work.

But i have come acroos so many people working with these children who dont seem to really care about them.

So my other question is what makes you want to work with children who have special needs and what is your most rewarding moment in this work?

Mine was when a 7 year old boy i had been working with finally walked for the first time it was amaizing, my boss and i were both standing there with tears rolling down our faces, i will never forget that day or that feeling. And telling his parents was amaizing they thought he would never walk.

Wow. Yahoo must be relying on some real idiots to write their news articles today. Anyone see this one?

http://education.yahoo.net/degrees/articles/featured_preparing_for_entry_level_jobs.html

Teachers starting at $50,000? Restaurant managers? They must have gotten their stats in Boston or San Jose or somewhere else with an outrageous standard of living. Either that or they just measured upper tier private schools or something. Does anyone here actually live somewhere that pays teachers at the ENTRY LEVEL over $50,000? If so, I'd like to hear about it. My wife wants to teach, and in Florida and Michigan most schools start WELL under $40,000! Sounds like a dream world to me.

Ok here's the deal I am currently a patient sitter at a hospital and it's great. I work PRN, and when I have the option-which is often- I am able to do homework. Which is great when you are in college. But this is not me. Sitting around bores me, and it doesn't offer the experience I need, that I know would help me in nursing school. What I would love to do is be an E.R. tech. Which I know has more potential for being busy work that the nurses do not care to do. But that doesn't bother me. Everyone has to work there way up the chain. I know that. The pros of the job- more experience, getting to know more people, a set schedule, better pay. Cons- not able to do my homework, and a set schedule. If there is anyone here who is currently in the medical field or has ever been through a similar situation your advice would be greatly appreciated.

The above topic is the question. Do you think it is possible to read 5 books per month when the average pages are between 400-600. Books will also be business related with a few fictional novelties.

P.S. This is excluding the amount of time spent on reading newspapers, online articles, magazines, and other sources of editorial submissions.

I have to say it, these are some real winners!

Pregnate (see this all the time)
Plant Parenthood (come on!!!)

I suppose the people who are "pregnate" couldn't take time to to go to "Plant Parenthood" and get birth control! I just saw that one today and could not stop laughing!

Well, what are some of the worse ones you have seen here?

I just want a few classes to get started, and my husband has a start but just wants to finish school. He would probably do something in engineering but I'm into english/writing/liberal arts.
Are there any legit places to help us out? I would be most comfortable taking an online version of a brick and mortar class...but cant find much around here. Thanks in advance.
