Hi, I am feeling very confused right now. I am a sophmore in college and I can't completely figure out what I want to do with my life. I want a job/career helping people around the world. I want to improve the lives of others and help them. I also want to work for or being involved with organizations like WHO, UNICEF and others such. I want do something in biological sciences or health or something related also. Currently I have a minor in business and a minor in Spanish. I also speak Hindi, and a little bit of Arabic.
So I don't know what to do with all this. What path should I go on? Can someone please help me?
thank you for taking the time to read this.

I am doing a research project about being a flight attendant. And I can't find what college or universities are good choices for this career. Don't tell me that airlines require only a high school diploma because I know that already. I need to know why also.

I am in the 8th grade, which means I will be in high school next year. My problem is I don't understand math at all, and I don't know if I will be able to do freshmen math next year. I am getting math help twice a week, but no matter how easy someone explains it I still don't know what they are talking about. If I don't understand this by next fall I will not pass math and will not graduate. Please help! I don't know what I should do

I am a freshman at one of those "top" east coast colleges, however, I really need to transfer to a school in my state because of family issues.
I am really worried that law schools would look unfavorably if I had transfered from a top tier school, with very good grades, to a smaller, lesser known private college, where I could do just as well.
Should I worry or should I participate in more activities to compensate?

I tried drawing a diagram, rearranging equations, and reading the textbook, but I can't figure out how to do this problem. I've done all the other questions on my homework (though half of them are most likely wrong), but this one makes no sense. Can anyone help?

A person fishing hooks a 2 kg fish on a line that can only sustain a maximum 38 N of force before breaking. At one point while the person is reeling in the fish, it fights back with a force of 40 N. What is the minimum acceleration with which you must play out the line in order to keep it from breaking?

Is it ok to just say his instead of saying 'his or her.' If so, should I use his for the whole paper and not say his or her sometimes and just his other times. What do you suggest. Whenever I say his or her it sounds dragged out.
