The Crystal Gazer

I shall gather myself into my self again,
I shall take my scattered selves and make them one.
I shall fuse them into a polished crystal ball
Where I can see the moon and the flashing sun.
I Shall sit like a sibyl, hour after hour intent.
Watching the future come and the present go -
And the little shifting pictures of people rushing
In tiny self-importance to and fro.

- Sara Teasdale

As a substitute teacher, I incur the misbehavior of many a child. I was hoping you might be able to offer some advice as far as handling a child's misbehavior (i.e., sitting still, staying quiet, to stop pushing and shoving). What are the tricks of the trade?

How do you make this past tense sentence into present tense?
"His possessions are destroyed."

Would it be:
"His possessions is destroyed."?
The word, "is," is present tense but, "destroyed" is still in past tense.

on the word "corruption" and it should make a point about the human experience.




an example of making a point about the human experience is:

"Thinking too hard and worrying too much can destroy a person's ability to take decisive action when it is needed"

or

"When people have lost faith in those closest to them, they may do things that have devastating consequence"

I want to get my master's and have been accepted to 2 different colleges. One is less expensive, by $200 per credit, and it's closer to my home. However the director, advisors and professors are not very accessible. I'm not sure I'll get as good an education, and if I have a problem, I'm not sure if I'll be able to contact a professor.

The other college is more expensive, but the professors are much more accessible and interested in making sure the students succeed. I feel like I'll get a better education and be better prepared to venture in the field at this more expensive school. However I already have some debt, and this will put me even further in debt.

Which one would you choose?

I recently left high school due to recommendations from my graduation coach and now, being that I'm close to getting my G.E.D., I'd like to plan for my future afterwards, which is to be accepted into a college here in Georgia. Costs are ridiculous and I need help finding small scholarships to pay for it. I once heard on TV about this girl who went for many tiny scholarships at a time and over the coarse of like a year or two, she piled up a total of $100,000 to pay for school in scholarships. Where can I find small scholarships like this where I can pay for college, but with only a G.E.D.?

It says "Congratulations, You've got a best answer and 10 extra points!"
I thought that when you use words like "bets", "worst", "tallest" and so on you're supposed to use "the" in front of it. Could you explain why "a" is used?
