ok im in 10th grade and i have a science project due...well im kind of known for always going above and beyond for presentations and major projects, and for being very creative...but ive kinda lost my motivation when it comes to science fairs because believe it or not ive always been criticised for taking on more elebaborate projects (since 3rd grade infact). well this year i am REQUIRED to do one in order to keep my honors credit. at first i was going to build a go-kart that ran on vegetable oil, but turns out thats too major *rolls eyes*. not to mention it would be hard to find a deisel engine i could roll into the class room lol. but annnyways, not being the "plan in the closet project" type, i decided i would do a project on a subject im very good at and love very much - aviation! ive actually been through a little over a month of flight school and piloted an aircraft once, my second flight was as an observer (co-pilot). soooo - cont'd

I know most people don't like their work, but I hate going to bed at night because I have to wake up and go to my job the next day. I deprive myself of sleep just so I can make the time go slower between night and morning. I actually like my boss but I hate my co-workers and my hours are so long. What am I to do?

Isnt it ridicolous that out-of-state students pay so much money (more likely triple the price) compare to resident students? What if they came from another country especially the one who came from the low economic country who come to US just to strive hard to earn some money, do the government think about that? What do the government think, that those students who migrate are filthy rich? I was just wondering, "WHY?, WHY?, WHY?".


Comments, Suggestions, and Answers are welcome to comment in my question. Thank you!

I need to transer highschools but i have to get approved....so i need to write a really good reason on why i want to transfer.
The real reason is i am just NOT happy with the school i am...and most my friends go to the other school.
But i have alot of C's for grades and i was thinking about basing it off of that...because the school i go to right now is very advanced...and the other school is average!
Also it is a much bigger school so they offer ALOT more courses! PLEASE HELP!

I'm very hazy on what I want to major in and what I want to do with my life... however, I'm not very fond of science, or especially math, or ESPECIALLY chemistry. Chemistry actually is probably my most hated educational course that I've ever taken. I'm much more of a writer, and my teacher has always commented me on how well I write - consequently, I want to become something of a writer.

However, I'm under the impression that the only useful majors that will land you a really good job are the ones in the scientific and mathmetical fields. I hate both of them though...

What are the most useful majors that don't require much knowledge in the math or science field, and perhaps relate to my interests?

I am in high school (grade 10) and as the college-mania begins, I have been thinking a lot about the schools I might want to attend. I would love to get into a unversity like Harvard, Yale, or Stanford, or some other highly reputable school, but I'm not sure I have the kind of background that schools like that require. Here is my background:

As of now: GPA: 4.27
Extracurriculars: Debate Team, Model U.N. (position on board for this): 2 awards won, Science Olympiad: 4 awards won, Academic Competition, Spanish Club, City Youth Orchestra (I live in a pretty big city--about 1 million)

I have done a number of community service hours as of now (doing more prior to graduation), but just general things, like soup kitchens, etc.

I'm not a minority.

I'm taking 2 AP courses this year, all honors otherwise, and one English elective (I'll be taking more AP's junior and senior year).

I'm a pretty serious violinist.

Thanks! If anyone has a clue whether I'm good, thanks!

Like most Americans, Superman is an immigrant but an exceptional one. As many immigrants come from foreign countries by earthly transportation, Superman crash-lands on earth from another planet in his rocket ship. As a result immigrants and Superman become part of American, and both must follow the edifying behavior. However, Superman attains them well. Engle points out that his superpowers are “equivalent” to cultural characteristics that make immigrants stand out. In addition, many foreign settlers have dual personalities: one for their public persona, the other for their private life, to integrate little by little in their communities. Therefore, Superman simulates fragility and human characteristics to the public as Clark Kent. At home, he reveals his powerful and heroic character as Superman, utilizing a costume to protect his "human" identity. Altogether, immigrants and this heroic figure have new identities in their lives to assimilate into the American society.

Okay so... I was just wondering whether or not helper verbs (is am were do does did etc.) are included in either the complete subject or the complete predicate.

For example... "Can you guess Maritza's favorite fabulous creature?"

I found the answer... "Maritza's favorite fabulous creature" would be the complete subject...

and the complete predicate would be "Can you guess"

Am I right? Anyways back to the point...

Would "can" be included as the complete predicate if it is a helper verb?

Thank you!
