My first time going to college, at 18 years old, i screwed up and flunked out, well i laid out for several years and did some growing up, when i came back to school i have done good, i have a 3.0 gpa. well because i had some overcome some F's from my youth, my GPA will never be 3.5-4.0. So what are some tips that would help me get into med school in the U.S. I would like to hear from some people that have or know of someone who had been in the same type situation and got in med-school. Thanks.

Let me first explain that I have a thing. If something doesn't challenge me intellectually, I get bored with it and move on. To me, highschool was dreadfully easy and mindless. Thus I hardly did my homework but passed the tests and quizes with ease.

Because of my not doing anything, I didn't have enough credits to graduate and am now staying back a semester.

However, I want to have a career in physics (a class that challenged me and thus: I passed) but I don't know how to get into colleges. Other than community colleges, how can I get accepted to them? I have no money at all to help and haven't even taken the ACT (which costs $100 to take). I KNOW I have made mistakes. How do I rectify them now?

Serious answers only please. Really. I know I am an idiot. But I need help.

I need to know because I have a bit of a problem, I was very ill 9th grade and some of 10th so I did poorly those 2 years... I got all 90's junior year and probably this senior yeah but my GPA is still only a 76%... I think that if I write admission essays I definatly have a chance to explain my situation, and if they looked into it the medical records are all there to prove that I had a problem

Recently i have been working through courses that are supposed to train me how to speed read. One of the key principals of speed reading is that you dont subvocalize (pronouncing words in your head while reading) words when you read them. Supposedly the brain can process literally thousands of words per minute, but you have to be able to visually process these words without saying them to yourself in you head. A few tips i have already heard are to hole a toothpick in my mouth, or chew gum, but i can do these things and still subvocalize. Does anyone have tips on how to eliminate subvocalization?

4. Number of pages: The book is 324 pages.
5. First line: '' Once on a dark winter's day, when the yellow fog hung so thick and heavy in the streets of London that the lamps were lighted and the shop windows blazed with gas as they do at night, an odd-looking little girl sat in a cab with her father and was driven rather slowly through the big thoroughfares " (1).
6. Plot: The story is about a girl named Sara Crewe who has to attend a London boarding school because her father, Ralph Crewe, had to go to India because he became an owner of a diamond mine. At the school Sara has a reputation for being the rich, polite, intelligent girl and she was treated as if she was a real princess. But then one day she finds out that her father died and he left no fortune behind. So Sara has to work for a living by running errands and helping other students with there lessons. But little did Sara know that Mr. Carrisford who moved next to the seminary was a friend of her fathers and he was looking for her to inform her that she does not have to live her life as a pauper.
7. Main Characters: The main characters in the story are:
Sara Crewe: She is the daughter of Ralph Crewe and she is left in poverty when her father dies.
Ralph Crewe: Is Sara’s father and he has to leave her because he became the owner of a diamond mine.
Mr. Carrisford: Is Ralph Crewe’s best friend who looks for Sara to inform her that she does not have to live her life as a servant. He also becomes the new guardian of Sara.

Ermengarde St. John: is Sara's best friend at school. Ermengarde is good-natured and loyal, and sneaks away to visit Sara when she becomes a servant.
8. Setting: The story takes place in London.
9. Mood: “ My papa is dead ! My papa is dead ! ” (107).
10. Philosophy: “ If I am a princess in rags and tatters, I can be a princess inside. It would be easy to be a princess if I were dressed in cloth of gold, but it is a great deal more of a triumph to be one all the time when no one knows it ” (178).
11. Point of View: The story is told from the 3rd person point of view. Sara is telling the story.
12. Climax/Literary High Point: “ What was your father’s name ? the Indian gentlemen said. Tell me. His name was Ralph Crewe Sara answer, feeling startled. Captain Crewe. He died in India ” (293).
13. Reference to Major Cities of the World: “ The climate of India was very bad for children, and as soon as possible they were sent away from it generally to England and to school ” (4).
14. Use of Figurative Language: “ The little fleecy, floating ones, tinged with rose-color and looking like flights of pink doves scurrying across the blue in a great hurry if there was a wind ” (170).
15. Theme/Moral: The theme of the story is that you don’t need to be affluent to be a princess. Just use your imagination and don’t let anything bring you down.
16. Last Line: “ And, somehow, Sara felt as if she understood her, though she said so little, and only stood still and looked and looked after her as she went out of the shop with the Indian gentlemen, and they got into the carriage and drove away ’’(324).
17. Significance of Title: The significance of the title is that you don’t have to be a affluent person in order to be a princess. Just use your imagination and don’t let anything get in your way. Because sometimes in life we have to deal with situations that we don’t want to be in but that doesn’t mean that you have to make your life miserable to.
18. My Review: I liked this book because it tells you that you don’t have to be rich in order for you to be a princess. It also tells how all little girls can be princesses regardless of race, appearance, or being a snob. Just let you imagination run wild and don’t let the littlest things stop you from anything that you are trying to achieve. I think that this book would be appropriate for any age because this book teaches you that you don’t need to have money to do everything. I would love to read another book by this author because she writes story which you can learn from.
