Education & Reference - 20 December 2007

Kids have it so tough today, and most of them are bored. In 100 years from now, no1 is going to be here so I say let them have fun and enjoy like while they can. None of them rarely like being in school, and I obviously agree with getting an education, but I think most of the school day is a total waste.

Kids, and when I say kids, I am mainly talking about hs students 13-18, have to worry about peer pressures, and they get way too much homework. With sports, b/f, g/f and so much other stuff they have to worry about, wouldn't it be good to make the day start later (around 9 A.M. and let them out at 1 P.M.?)

Hopefully in the fall, I'll be attending St. Louis University which is $30,000 a year. I live with my mother and our income a year is $14,000. As you can see, we are definitely not rich.

What are some scholarships I have a good chance at? I.E. Scholarships that not many people apply for and those who do get them.

I know a lot of scholarships get ignored every year ... what are they? I will apply to a lot this holiday but I want some that I have a good chance of winning.

I hate writing essays but I will if I have to!


I already know about fastweb and sites like that!

How do you know if it is unweighted or weighted? Also what is the difference between unweighted and weighted GPA and what do colleges focus more on? I take honors and AP classes so I don't know if that will make much of a difference.

am a junior at a private Catholic high school. As I stand, my GPA is at 3.765 with a rank of 39 out of 115. I haven't taken the SAT yet but I'm looking to make anything from 1750-2000. I take 2 or 3 AP classes per year and the rest of my courses are advanced. I am involved in around 5 extra-curriculars including newspaper editor, student council secretary, and my school's student recruiting club. I am also very involved in my church (Catholic) and am the director for a teen retreat. I am a first generation African-American college student. I am looking for a medium to large school in Texas or Virginia with a reputation for academic excellence and one that supports a well-rounded student. Also, I'd like to think of some top tier schools that I could apply to with my qualifications (These schools need not be in Texas or Virginia. I am looking to major in liberal arts, political science, communications or law.
I appreciate your suggestions and thank you very much.

Imagine your town. What are the people like? Would you be accepted if you had to wear an extravagant A on your bosom? So you think it will not be that bad, What if the A stood for adulterer. Would you be embarrassed? Put yourself in a early seventeenth century puritan town, in which even dancing may be unholy. Adultery definitely will not be accepted. Then you commit adultery. Hester Prynne, from The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, was in this very situation. At the beginning of the novel Hester was seen as a horrible person, and that she would never be forgiven of her sin. The town was proven to be wrong. She was eventually forgiven of her sin. Hester watches her new found lover Dimmesdale the father of her daughter Pearl, slowly fade away as her ex lover tortures him. Hester and Dimmesdale want to be rid of their sins and start a new life with their daughter Pearl and unite as one. Their plan eventually comes to a halt, and not only leads to the demise of Dimmesdale but ...
