I was not born in America so I technically have a foreign name given to me by my parents. This is the name that appears on my citizenship record, passport, and Social Security card. But my family moved to America really long ago like when I was still a baby and my parents also gave me an American name. This is the name that appears on all my school records since kindergarten and all my friends, teachers and people who I speak English with call me by my American name. I'm graduating from high school this summer and applying for colleges. I already filled out college apps with my American name since its what appears on my school, transcript and GPA records, but I also used my SS# which has the foreign name because colleges and financial aid requires SS#. What is gonna happen? I just realized that the two names will conflict. And what will happen when I get a job as an adult? Is there some way to legally have all my records refer to me by my American name?

This Thursday, I have to do a 3-minute presentation in front of a large group on my science fair project.

I plan on using notecards and practicing at home beforehand.

However, as much as I practice in front of friends or in a mirror, as soon as I get up in front of the class, my voice gets scratchy and I move around a lot. Usually the only negative comments from teachers on my past presentations are about my nervous-ness, and I just don't know how to control it!

Any tips from your experience?

Thanks so much! :)

I am taking Algebra 2 and I am a person who usually sits in the class... Might not do anything... But I don't cause problems... And I don't need the class... And the teacher for it has called my mom saying that I don't do my work (understandable) I'm causing problems in class... And other stupid little things... The only real problem I had with her was because I was using a pen and she wanted me to use a pencil... well I can't see the pencil after almost 45 minutes of writing and staring at it... So another teacher comes and talks to me and asks me to just try and get along with her and so I try and she has the Vice principle call my mother (the math teacher is very afraid of my mom) And has her say a bunch of stuff to her... Now is it just me or is it a little unfair...

1) So if you are away from home and doing your trade job somewhere else, does that mean you have to pay rent at 2 places (paying rent at home and paying rent near the work place you are temporary staying at)?
2) If job does come and go, then does that mean you will be working at many different company thru-out your lifetime, but with the same union all the time, or does that mean you have to start all over again with the union deal since you switch company?
3) Does this mean you have to consistently look for jobs once it's over?
4) What type of construction/trade career doesn't have you move around a lot?
5) Who picks up on the tab for your temporary move away from home? Is it the company, employer, the union, or neither? If it is neither, then what's the point of being away from home temporary when you have to do all the travel and lodging expenses?
6) I don't know anything about what's a typical life of a trade worker/construction worker, so feel free to tell me anything.
