I've decided to tackle the topic for an essay in school, but I'm in great need of educational sources about religions (other than the obvious jehova witnesses, other religions that have issues with medicine) and of course these issues that have gotten media attention.

ANY articles that deal with this would be incredibly helpful! I need as many sources as I can get, and I'm having an ordeal knowing what to look for on Google. So please help !

we are reading the book "a farewell to arms" and on the test the question was "what does rindald stuff into his gun holder?"

I answered tissue paper

she marked it wrong saying that it was "toilet" paper not tissue paper. I discussed it with her after class and she said that it wasn't the same thing.

Is she being unfair? I mean, in my opinion, toilet paper and tissue paper is the same thing.

I am wondering if anyone has left the profession because of the stress? I have given notice on my new teaching job because of stress.

I'm starting to question my decision, though.

Do you know of anyone who has left because of stress, or have you left because of stress?

I'm a Junior and my GPA is still undetermined because I have about 3 semesters left.

My current GPA (freshman & sophomore) is: 3.67
I'm in the International Baccularate Program
In Model UN, Key Club and National Honors Society
Lots of Volunteer hours
I'm on Varsity Raquetball
Did Basketball & Softball in freshman and sophomore year
I got my PSAT scores back and I am basically stupid.
My selection Index is 132 with a Percentile of 39.

I don't understand how I can have a low PSAT score and have an above average GPA.

If I do poorly on the SAT, can I still get into UW with all my other achievements?

I set up an appointment for a personal interview on Thursday for Saturday. On Friday I heard about winter storm possiblities on Saturday and called the lady to reschedule.

My family says this was a bad decision and the lady probably thinks poorly of me for rescheduling, as it shows wavering and uncertainty. My sister says I should give up my Harvard hopes.

Additional info: I am ranked 2 out of my class, I am a badminton champion, award-winning poet, professional artist (some people have bought my paintings), AP Scholar, Maryland Distinguished Scholar, participant in the Irvine Nature Center Summer Fellowship, and my SAT score is 2200.

Okay, well, I've got some sources for a paper, but in order to claim them as sources I do have to actually use a quote from them right? I can't just put them in my works cited and claim them as a source.

Reason I ask more specifically is because my English teacher requires 6 sources, but I'm not sure I can actually find 6 sources to quote.

I am a freshman in high school and I am a kinesthetic learner. Which means I learn through moving, doing, and touching. I can't learn by listening to someone lecture or watching them do something. It is beginning to be very difficult to finish my homework. My teachers just don't do anything to target all of the different learning styles.

My parents just think I am making excuses and don't understand what my problem is. I ace my hands on classes like clay, metal, and science labs. It is starting to make me very frustrated with myself when I can't sit down and just do my homework.

I've gone half the year, but it keeps getting harder for me and I don't know if I will make it till May.

Is this my fault? How can I make my parents understand? How can I turn my homework into something fun that involves actually moving?
