...Every once in awhile life has to shut certain doors for us, because a lot of the time we won’t move on unless we are forced to do so. The past 4 years of High School have made me grow up and realize how harsh people can be. I've learned many subjects that I won't use at all in my future however I have also acquired skills that I will take with me for the rest of my life. I've gained a better view on how fake people act in school compared to outside of school, i've lost friends that chose partying and hoeing around over my friendship and i've witnessed teachers pick favorites and gossip just as bad as the kids. Now that i'm moving on to the next chapter of my life i want to leave with a few tips: Never ever let your pride get in the way of your...

That is why my father and mother made sure to push how important an education was going to be for our futures. My family is the most important thing to me in my life but it took years for me to remember that again. The Younger Years To help form my mind around how I wanted to be when I grew up I always looked towards my family. My father never made it past third grade growing up in Mexico and working on the ranch with his family. My mother is the youngest after eight boys who were raised in Puerto Rico in a small poverty-stricken neighborhood where she went to school and took care of the house with her mother.

...Laura throneberry Mrs. Aguilar Dual Credit English September 9, 2013 Life’s Unexpected Changes Moving away from all of your best friends can be a real tragedy in a sixteen-year-old teenagers life. It's hard to get up and go thousand miles away from everyone you know and everything you grew up around. I had this happen to me not once, but twice. Moving from Houston to Orlando then to Waco was the largest change I have ever had to adjust to in my life. It wasn't the changes around me that I was bothered by; it was that I did not know one living soul for hundreds of miles and all I wanted was a friend. I had two days left of summer before my junior year, at my beloved private school in Orlando, started. My dad tried to explain to me that we would be moving to a town in “The Heart of Texas” called Waco. I honestly thought that he was just joking with me, but he continued to tell me about how he had an awesome opportunity there. At that point the only thing I knew about Waco was that Baylor and a crazy cult was there resided there. My dad then told me that I would get to stay the rest of the semester in Florida, but we would be moving the day after Christmas. I was devastated, I ran to my room and cried for about an hour with thoughts of all my friends running through my head. I had only just moved to Orlando a year ago, but now it was my home! I had cheer, lacrosse, and all my best friends. I couldn’t comprehend how they could move me again. I was being selfish and...

...to move for a better employment opportunity. Instead of moving for a better job, people have been staying within their confront zone because of multiple reasons that may include: fear of the unknown, family and friends not being close by, and just plan not wanting to. Providing vouchers that promoted moving and providing assistance to those that are interested in moving could benefit them by taking up the slack that maybe an option for the person to move and provide better for themselves, without the immediate worry of not being able to make ends meet before actually having the job that they need to survive. This topic relates to our conversations in class because we were basically in the process of understanding how some of the government funding programs were are a benefit to those persons that are not afford healthcare or being discriminated against in receiving healthcare, just to name a few. I think that it’s first necessary to establish the meaning of unemployment benefits and how it is distributed among those that are in need.

...Beginning college studies is like starting an entirely new life. One would think that college was simply an academic extension of high school, but that is far from the truth. The commencement of one life marks the end of another life. It is a time where the previous life of a high schooler ceases to exist, and is replaced by a different world. In fact, the major changes a student goes through are more indicative of growing up than they are of getting smarter. The following paragraphs explore some of the differences student face when moving on from high school to college. Often, students nearing their high school graduation wonder what new challenges will be waiting for them in college. When the days of college finally arrive, they realize that these challenges are major and will alter their lives forever. From the first semester, right from the start, the college freshman notices a drastic difference in terms of personal freedom. For one thing, most college students do not continue to live with their parents. College is a time when the former high schooler develops a greater level of independence. The student grows and matures, moves her belongings and finds a new place to live. Sometimes, she finds a roommate, someone who is not a member of the family. Moving doesn't just have to be leaving the home in search of a new one. Sometimes students make an even bigger transition than simply leaving the house. In the United States it is very common for students to leave their home...

Some of the annual pay averages for US (United States) cities include Billings, Montana – $41,660, Los Angeles, California – $53,000, and San Antonio, Texas – $41,870 (“Occupational Employment Statistics”). Conversely, when it comes to the state’s cost of living indexes, Montana has a higher than normal cost of living index (102), while Texas has a substantially lower one (92.6) (“Cost of Living Data Series Second Quarter 2015”). California has the fifth highest cost of living index within the US (133.7) (“Cost of Living Data Series Second Quarter 2015”). The average cost of living index is counted as 100.

...amend the opening of classes. The existing school calendar which spans from June to March is often disrupted as destructive typhoons plague the region during the rainy season that’s why our lawmakers decided to move the opening of classes from September through May to avoid numerous class suspensions and serve to protect the students during strong typhoons. The Department of Education said that it is open to the proposal by some sectors, including lawmakers to move the opening of classes but they want to ensure the comfort of the students in school and stresses the need for a comprehensive study. While the Department of Education is open on the proposal, some did not welcome this idea. An initial survey on the matter conducted way back in 2009. On the respondents, 66 percent were against the move while 34 percent were in favor. [1] Also, another ground for rejecting the proposal is the traditions celebrated during summer and being not conducive in learning because of hot weather during March. The delay in suspension of classes is one of the reasons why our lawmakers and other sectors in the community urge to move the classes from June to September. Unexpected suspension of classes is hard on the part of students because they have to deal with floods, lack of transportations and diseases. Numerous class suspensions also cause irregularity of school days due to rains and floods, horrendous difficulties to and from school and danger to life from open drains and excavations...

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, California, has one of the highest unemployment in the country at 9.4%.

...your security of how you live. I thought it made me think a little deeper since he gave the message the way he did. The story made me think of a specific topic I am dealing with in my life right now. It makes me think of me moving away for college. Recently I transferred schools. I originally went to The University of Northwestern Ohio, thinking I wanted to learn mechanics and have a career as a High performance auto mechanic. After a little over half a year of going to school there I decided that wasn’t what I wanted to do. So I transferred to IPFW to get a business degree. I have been out of ordinary classes like English, math, and science for some time now. The only classes I was taking at UNOH were mechanics classes. So coming to IPFW and jumping into math classes and general education classes were quite overwhelming needless to say, since I haven’t been in this type of school atmosphere since high school. I am now getting used to the idea of this type of schooling finally. I did have to push myself to work harder and get more organized though. I have to write things down in an agenda. I have to re learn a lot of things I would have known coming out of high school. My most difficult task was re learning math that I had already learned in high school. I watched math videos on...
