What to do with my life as a transgender!?
I now live in Pennsylvania, I will graduate high school next year..I have no working experiences, my aunt and my parents want me to go to college, but I want to get a job to pay for my surgery and therapy first...so now I am thinking of getting a job as a receptionist in Philadelphia once I've graduated..do you think there is going to be any problem? like perhaps, when people look at my ID when I was getting a job, and they will just fire me and tell me to go?

try finding a job that will be more open to you being transgender. a bar or night club or even a gay bar. odd I know but sometimes you have to do what you have to do. legaly people can NOT fire you cause of being transgender, BUT that does not mean they will not find another reason to do it..;
2
There are companies out there that do not discriminate against transgenders. I have enclosed two sites that you can go to in order to look up various jobs. Just because you are transgender does not mean you can only get work in a gay bar as the first answer said. You can do anything you want just put your mind to it and don't let people make you feel bad. Good Luck!!

It will probably take more than 4 years with a low paying job like being a receptionist to pay for therapy and surgeries and medicines. I realize you are probably impatient, I know I was,but you may do better by going to a accepting/smart college and many of them are now a days. Many colleges offer reduced price therapy sessions. Many colleges offer a reduced price medical services plan You CAN dramatically enhance your long term earnings skills by going to college and studying for a good career, to the tune of several milliion dollars over your lifetime. AND there is a pretty decent chance that you can find good support and guidance in your transition at a good college. Please do seriously consider it ,please. I didn't and suffered Work hard, live well, become who you are. college can help.

Scientists and professors prove that the Qur'an is the word of God?
Scientists and professors prove that the Qur'an is the word of God.?
There is a lot of evidence especially scientific. He is some things that non muslim scientist and professors have said about the Qur'an. 1-Dr. William W. Hay is a well-known marine scientist. He is Professor of Geological Sciences at the University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado, USA. He was formerly the Dean of the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science at the University of Miami, Miami, Florida, USA. After a discussion with Professor Hay about the Quran’s mention of recently discovered facts on seas, he said: “I find it very interesting that this sort of information is in the ancient scriptures of the Holy Quran, and I have no way of knowing where they would come from, but I think it is extremely interesting that they are there and that this work is going on to discover it, the meaning of some of the passages.†And when he was asked about the source of the Quran, he replied: “Well, I would think it must be the divine being.†2-Dr. Gerald C. Goeringer is Course Director and Associate Professor of Medical Embryology at the Department of Cell Biology, School of Medicine, Georgetown University, Washington, DC, USA. “In a relatively few aayahs (Quranic verses) is contained a rather comprehensive description of human development from the time of commingling of the gametes through organogenesis. No such distinct and complete record of human development, such as classification, terminology, and description, existed previously. In most, if not all, instances, this description antedates by many centuries the recording of the various stages of human embryonic and fetal development recorded in the traditional scientific literature.†3-Dr. Yoshihide Kozai is Professor Emeritus at Tokyo University, Hongo, Tokyo, Japan, and was the Director of the National Astronomical Observatory, Mitaka, Tokyo, Japan. He said: “I am very much impressed by finding true astronomical facts in [the] Quran, and for us the modern astronomers have been studying very small pieces of the universe. We’ve concentrated our efforts for understanding of [a] very small part. Because by using telescopes, we can see only very few parts [of] the sky without thinking [about the] whole universe. So, by reading [the] Quran and by answering to the questions, I think I can find my future way for investigation of the universe.†4-Dr. E. Marshall Johnson is Professor Emeritus of Anatomy and Developmental Biology at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. There, for 22 years he was Professor of Anatomy, the Chairman of the Department of Anatomy, and the Director of the Daniel Baugh Institute. He was also the President of the Teratology Society. He has authored more than 200 publications. “Summary: The Quran describes not only the development of external form, but emphasizes also the internal stages, the stages inside the embryo, of its creation and development, emphasizing major events recognized by contemporary science.†Also he said: “As a scientist, I can only deal with things which I can specifically see. I can understand embryology and developmental biology. I can understand the words that are translated to me from the Quran. As I gave the example before, if I were to transpose myself into that era, knowing what I knew today and describing things, I could not describe the things which were described. I see no evidence for the fact to refute the concept that this individual, Muhammad, had to be developing this information from some place. So I see nothing here in conflict with the concept that divine intervention was involved in what he was able to write. 5-Dr. Joe Leigh Simpson is the Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Professor of Molecular and Human Genetics at the Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA. Formerly, he was Professor of Ob-Gyn and the Chairman of the Department of Ob-Gyn at the University of Tennessee, Memphis, Tennessee, USA. He was also the President of the American Fertility Society. He has received many awards, including the Association of Professors of Obstetrics and Gynecology Public Recognition Award in 1992. Professor Simpson studied the following two sayings of the Prophet Muhammad : {In every one of you, all components of your creation are collected together in your mother’s womb by forty days...}2 {If forty-two nights have passed over the embryo, God sends an angel to it, who shapes it and creates its hearing, vision, skin, flesh, and bones....}3 He studied these two sayings of the Prophet Muhammad extensively, noting that the first forty days constitute a clearly distinguishable stage of embryo-genesis. He was particularly impressed by the absolute precision and accuracy of those sayings of the Prophet Muhammad . Then, during one conference, he gave the following opinion: “So that the two hadeeths (the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad ) that have been noted provide us Whats a lie? The scientists are lying?

Just forget them, you cant make them believe They are ignorant about our religion, allah has contineously told us that in the quran. They just think the quran is ridiculous and will deny every single compliment or evidence brought them. So no point bothering with them We allready know that the quran and hadith far outknowledges science and the most recent discoveries made has been given to us in the quran; something that could not be proved in the past and still the quran contains things that have yet not been discovered by scientists e.g. humans being made by clay There are hundreds of more scientists who aknowledge the quran, aspired by it also in their researches. The Ummah today is not strong enough one day muslim scientists will again out perform the non-muslims just like muslims outcompeted them in the past in caligraphy, Art, Maths ( Geonometry Numeracy Algebra) science and many more. Its only been since the late 18th and 19th century they have outperformed in discoveries and at this that time islam was extremely weak in Ummah even more so than today E.g. Civil war in Spain

i need help on how to start my dream?
i need help on how to start my dream?
hey, i would love to become an actress, but am not sure how to start. i've been told that i'd be good at it and one time while getting my school picture taken the photographer said my name sounds like a good actress name. (sry not to sound cocky, i hate ppl like that, but its true). thing is i live near philadelphia, pennsylvania, not california, so how can I start acting? I was wondering if anyone has some tips on how to become a good actress/ find an agent/ find roles. i was also wondering if anyone could tell me what goes on during auditions/ what to wear to them/ etc. thanks so much! :D

you can search online for acting agencies near your area and you MUST take headshots. since if you were to go to an audition they may need for you to show them your headshots. you also need a resume saying your past roles, if any. you might also try to take acting clasees, althoug it is not necessary. during an auditon the director or the person in charge will give you a script and ask you to read a couple of lines in front of them at that moment.

How do you start acting? Simple: You just start. Take classes, go to auditions, read plays to learn about standard repertoire, create a resume, get headshots taken, and observe other actors at auditions to learn how [and how NOT] to conduct yourself during the audition process. There are tons of theatres there in Pennsylvania. Contact them and get on their audition mailing lists. Do the research to find out which ones are major regional theatre -- I could tell you, but the research work will be beneficial for you -- and contact their education departments to find out what sort of classes they offer. Alternatively, network with other actors in town and get some names of reputable acting teachers and/or coaches -- and always remember that someone telling you that their teacher is "amazing" does NOT automatically mean it's true. Auditions for non-musicals generally consist of you doing one or two monologues that total three minutes or less -- always aim for LESS, as the auditors always appreciate people who don't use their whole time allotment. You should have at least four monologues ready to go at all times -- two comedic [a contemporary and a classical], and two dramatic [modern and classic as well]. Do NOT ever do Shakespeare unless you are actually auditioning for a Shakespeare production. For musicals, you'll sing a song that shows off your voice, and they'll generally want only 30-60 seconds. However, Equity members generally get 3-5 minutes at regional theatres -- but again, the wise actor will not be greedy by taking the entire offered time. Never pay to audition, and never hook up with an agent who requires any upfront costs other than new headshots -- and in the case of headshots, be wary of any agent giving you only one photographer's name. Pick up a copy of the book "Audition" by Michael Shurtleff, and make it your bible -- read it once, immediately read it AGAIN and take notes, and then read it at least once per year thereafter. Even 30+ years after its publication, the wisdom and practical advice in it is still relevant. Don't ever become a diva. The tabloids [and the public] love to perversely glamorize egomaniacal behavior, but the reality is that producers and directors eschew working with "problem child" actors. The ONLY thing of true worth that any artist has is their reputation -- how reliable they are, how they treat others, etc etc -- so always strive to be an outstanding colleague. I've gotten several projects wherein the casting choice was down to me and one other person, and the producers went with me because they know I'm a pleasure to work with. There are many more things to learn, but it would take too long to write them all here -- so you need to go out there and discover them for yourself. :-) Best of luck.

My first bit of advice is, don't! It is a very hard road, full of rejection. Years of study: acting; voice lessons - singing and speaking; movement; dance; and on and on. 97% of professional actors are unemployed at any given time. When you hear of actors being discovered easily (they haven't studied, they haven't gone to cattle calls everyday for years, etc.), those cases are extremely rare. Like being struck by lightning. Still want to do it? Good. You have to want it more than anything else in the whole world. It's not just something you want to do 'maybe", but something you MUST do, it is essential to your core. Let's assume you wan't to be a serious actress. You don't specify your age so I assume you are in high school of Jr. High. Take any drama courses that are offered, even if they are not acting classes. Understanding Shakespeare & American Playwrights are examples of courses that would be beneficial. Try out for all school productions. Try out for the Talent show. Experience in auditioning is invaluable. Get into the school choir. Take any singing and dancing courses offered. Read the Stanislovski books, "Building a Character", etc.Pick a University, College, Community College with a good Theatre Arts and Acting program. Yale and Julliard are top of the line, but most schools have a program. Talk to your guidance counselor. Check out community theatres or professional theatre's in your area and start auditioning.

After school or when you think your ready for it, its off to N.Y.C. or Los Angeles. You'll need resume' pictures (very expensive) and a place to live (very, very expensive) once you get there.

Again, you'll need resume' pics for this. They'll tell you what they require. If they want to charge you anything - to be in their book, for example - make sure they are a reputable and important agency. Call a couple of independant Casting agents (I'm sure you will find a few in Phillly, look in the phone book, google, or ask around) and ask them if the agency is legimate or what are the best agencies. While you've got them on the phone thell them about yourself and ask how you can be considered for their upcoming projects. Ask everybody about everybody - like who do they recommend as a acting resume' photographer - and you'll learn alot really fast. Of course with local agencies, this will be television commercials, industrial films (training or motivational films for a particular company) and modeling. Acting for a camera is much more subtle than acting on stage. You still need the same inner dialogue (the things the character is thinking about inside as he speaks) but toned way down. That's enough for now. If you do these things, your other questions will answer themselves. You'll make friend and you'll share experiences and knowledge. Break a leg!

hey, i would love to become an actress, but am not sure how to start. i've been told that i'd be good at it and one time while getting my school picture taken the photographer said my name sounds like a good actress name. (sry not to sound cocky, i hate ppl like that, but its true). thing is i live near philadelphia, pennsylvania, not california, so how can I start acting? I was wondering if anyone has some tips on how to become a good actress/ find an agent/ find roles. i was also wondering if anyone could tell me what goes on during auditions/ what to wear to them/ etc. thanks so much! :D

you can search online for acting agencies near your area and you MUST take headshots. since if you were to go to an audition they may need for you to show them your headshots. you also need a resume saying your past roles, if any. you might also try to take acting clasees, althoug it is not necessary. during an auditon the director or the person in charge will give you a script and ask you to read a couple of lines in front of them at that moment.
2
How do you start acting? Simple: You just start. Take classes, go to auditions, read plays to learn about standard repertoire, create a resume, get headshots taken, and observe other actors at auditions to learn how [and how NOT] to conduct yourself during the audition process. There are tons of theatres there in Pennsylvania. Contact them and get on their audition mailing lists. Do the research to find out which ones are major regional theatre -- I could tell you, but the research work will be beneficial for you -- and contact their education departments to find out what sort of classes they offer. Alternatively, network with other actors in town and get some names of reputable acting teachers and/or coaches -- and always remember that someone telling you that their teacher is "amazing" does NOT automatically mean it's true. Auditions for non-musicals generally consist of you doing one or two monologues that total three minutes or less -- always aim for LESS, as the auditors always appreciate people who don't use their whole time allotment. You should have at least four monologues ready to go at all times -- two comedic [a contemporary and a classical], and two dramatic [modern and classic as well]. Do NOT ever do Shakespeare unless you are actually auditioning for a Shakespeare production. For musicals, you'll sing a song that shows off your voice, and they'll generally want only 30-60 seconds. However, Equity members generally get 3-5 minutes at regional theatres -- but again, the wise actor will not be greedy by taking the entire offered time. Never pay to audition, and never hook up with an agent who requires any upfront costs other than new headshots -- and in the case of headshots, be wary of any agent giving you only one photographer's name. Pick up a copy of the book "Audition" by Michael Shurtleff, and make it your bible -- read it once, immediately read it AGAIN and take notes, and then read it at least once per year thereafter. Even 30+ years after its publication, the wisdom and practical advice in it is still relevant. Don't ever become a diva. The tabloids [and the public] love to perversely glamorize egomaniacal behavior, but the reality is that producers and directors eschew working with "problem child" actors. The ONLY thing of true worth that any artist has is their reputation -- how reliable they are, how they treat others, etc etc -- so always strive to be an outstanding colleague. I've gotten several projects wherein the casting choice was down to me and one other person, and the producers went with me because they know I'm a pleasure to work with. There are many more things to learn, but it would take too long to write them all here -- so you need to go out there and discover them for yourself. :-) Best of luck.

My first bit of advice is, don't! It is a very hard road, full of rejection. Years of study: acting; voice lessons - singing and speaking; movement; dance; and on and on. 97% of professional actors are unemployed at any given time. When you hear of actors being discovered easily (they haven't studied, they haven't gone to cattle calls everyday for years, etc.), those cases are extremely rare. Like being struck by lightning. Still want to do it? Good. You have to want it more than anything else in the whole world. It's not just something you want to do 'maybe", but something you MUST do, it is essential to your core. Let's assume you wan't to be a serious actress. You don't specify your age so I assume you are in high school of Jr. High. Take any drama courses that are offered, even if they are not acting classes. Understanding Shakespeare & American Playwrights are examples of courses that would be beneficial. Try out for all school productions. Try out for the Talent show. Experience in auditioning is invaluable. Get into the school choir. Take any singing and dancing courses offered. Read the Stanislovski books, "Building a Character", etc.Pick a University, College, Community College with a good Theatre Arts and Acting program. Yale and Julliard are top of the line, but most schools have a program. Talk to your guidance counselor. Check out community theatres or professional theatre's in your area and start auditioning. You'll need resume pictures and a resume for this. Call a local talent agency and ask the who they recommend. More on local talent agencies later. You'll learn more from doing than studying about it. After school or when you think your ready for it, its off to N.Y.C. or Los Angeles. You'll need resume' pictures (very expensive) and a place to live (very, very expensive) once you get there.

Why do some people think that the Qur'an is not the word of God?
Why do some people think that the Qur'an is not the word of God?
When there is a lot of evidence, especially scientific. He is some things that non muslim scientist and professors have said about the Qur'an. 1-Dr. William W. Hay is a well-known marine scientist. He is Professor of Geological Sciences at the University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado, USA. He was formerly the Dean of the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science at the University of Miami, Miami, Florida, USA. After a discussion with Professor Hay about the Quran’s mention of recently discovered facts on seas, he said: “I find it very interesting that this sort of information is in the ancient scriptures of the Holy Quran, and I have no way of knowing where they would come from, but I think it is extremely interesting that they are there and that this work is going on to discover it, the meaning of some of the passages.†And when he was asked about the source of the Quran, he replied: “Well, I would think it must be the divine being.†2-Dr. Gerald C. Goeringer is Course Director and Associate Professor of Medical Embryology at the Department of Cell Biology, School of Medicine, Georgetown University, Washington, DC, USA. “In a relatively few aayahs (Quranic verses) is contained a rather comprehensive description of human development from the time of commingling of the gametes through organogenesis. No such distinct and complete record of human development, such as classification, terminology, and description, existed previously. In most, if not all, instances, this description antedates by many centuries the recording of the various stages of human embryonic and fetal development recorded in the traditional scientific literature.†3-Dr. Yoshihide Kozai is Professor Emeritus at Tokyo University, Hongo, Tokyo, Japan, and was the Director of the National Astronomical Observatory, Mitaka, Tokyo, Japan. He said: “I am very much impressed by finding true astronomical facts in [the] Quran, and for us the modern astronomers have been studying very small pieces of the universe. We’ve concentrated our efforts for understanding of [a] very small part. Because by using telescopes, we can see only very few parts [of] the sky without thinking [about the] whole universe. So, by reading [the] Quran and by answering to the questions, I think I can find my future way for investigation of the universe.†4-Dr. E. Marshall Johnson is Professor Emeritus of Anatomy and Developmental Biology at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. There, for 22 years he was Professor of Anatomy, the Chairman of the Department of Anatomy, and the Director of the Daniel Baugh Institute. He was also the President of the Teratology Society. He has authored more than 200 publications. “Summary: The Quran describes not only the development of external form, but emphasizes also the internal stages, the stages inside the embryo, of its creation and development, emphasizing major events recognized by contemporary science.†Also he said: “As a scientist, I can only deal with things which I can specifically see. I can understand embryology and developmental biology. I can understand the words that are translated to me from the Quran. As I gave the example before, if I were to transpose myself into that era, knowing what I knew today and describing things, I could not describe the things which were described. I see no evidence for the fact to refute the concept that this individual, Muhammad, had to be developing this information from some place. So I see nothing here in conflict with the concept that divine intervention was involved in what he was able to write. 5-Dr. Joe Leigh Simpson is the Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Professor of Molecular and Human Genetics at the Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA. Formerly, he was Professor of Ob-Gyn and the Chairman of the Department of Ob-Gyn at the University of Tennessee, Memphis, Tennessee, USA. He was also the President of the American Fertility Society. He has received many awards, including the Association of Professors of Obstetrics and Gynecology Public Recognition Award in 1992. Professor Simpson studied the following two sayings of the Prophet Muhammad : {In every one of you, all components of your creation are collected together in your mother’s womb by forty days...}2 {If forty-two nights have passed over the embryo, God sends an angel to it, who shapes it and creates its hearing, vision, skin, flesh, and bones....}3 He studied these two sayings of the Prophet Muhammad extensively, noting that the first forty days constitute a clearly distinguishable stage of embryo-genesis. He was particularly impressed by the absolute precision and accuracy of those sayings of the Prophet Muhammad . Then, during one conference, he gave the following opinion: “So that the two hadeeths (the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad ) that have been noted provi @@@ If you people read, Its says NON MUSLIM SCIENTISTS have confirmed the Qur'an is the word of God.

Muhammed was born almost 600 years after Christ. He tried to re-write history and falsify the teachings of Christ by writing the Quran. Muslims (and Islam) say Jesus was a prophet but they reject all His teachings ...that is hypocrisy... They deny the divinity of Christ. they deny his claim to be the Son of God; they deny his death on the cross... they deny His ressurrection.. They deny Jesus is the Christ/ Messiah... In fact, the Quran says: "Allah has no son". Need I say more...? Don't be deceived. The Islamic god is totally different than the God of Jesus Christ . The Bible calls Muhammed and those like him False prophets..... "Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-Christ, that denies the Father and the Son. He that denies the Son, the same has not the Father." (I John 2:22)

Ok, I'm planning a trip for my senior year in high school where me and my friends will travel around and visit some paranormal locations. Our particular interest is prisons, hospitals, and asylums. The problem is, I only know of two good locations, Pennhurst State School and Byberry Mental Hospital both in Philadelphia, PA. Other than those, I have no idea where to look so I can get an idea. Please give me some names or links if they have websites. And please be serious about it...I don't want any answers from smart mouths trying to be funny.

Which college has the best reputation for economics/business?
Which college has the best reputation for economics/business?
I am currently working on my application for a study abroad in the USA. Since my grades aren't the very best, I need to persuade the jury with my study proposal. This is basically a 2-page informational essay about the course of my life so far and my future goals, especially in education. I have received an education pretty focused on economics thus far and would therefore like to argue, that it would make the most sense for me to go to a college that has a very good reputation in the economics / business department. However, since, like I said, my grades aren't top notch, it can't be the most prestigious school either. The perfect fit would be a college that is generally seen as mediocre, but has a fine economics / business branch. The list of the colleges available is this: (Platz/Plätze = Number of available places) Duke University (Durham, North Carolina, 1 Platz) Indiana University (Bloomington, Indiana, 2 Plätze) Middlebury College (Middlebury, Vermont, 1 Platz) Reed College (Portland, Oregon, 1 Platz) University of Chicago (Chicago, Illinois, 1 Platz) University of Minnesota (Minneapolis, Minnesota, 1 Platz) Western Michigan University (Kalamazoo, Michigan, 1 Platz) Hampshire College (Amherst, Massachusetts, 1 Platz) Montana State University (Bozeman, Montana, 1 Platz) Rutgers University (Camden, New Jersey, 1 Platz) Tulane University (New Orleans, Louisiana, 4 Plätze) University of Arizona (Tucson, Arizona, 1 Platz) University of Alabama (Tuscaloosa, Alabama, 1 Platz) University of California System (13 Plätze) (UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Los Angeles, UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, UC Santa Cruz) University of Colorado (Boulder, Colorado, 2 Plätze) University of Kentucky (Lexington, Kentucky, 1 Platz) University of Maryland (College Park, Maryland, 1 Platz) University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill, North Carolina, 1 Platz) University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 2 Plätze) University of Washington (Seattle, Washington, 1 Platz) So which of these would you recommend? I have to turn in a list of my top ten preferences. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

Can you give me some ideas to make my biography more interesting?
Can you give me some ideas to make my biography more interesting?
I'm not asking for someone to do my homework but I am asking from a good writer's standpoint to give me some tips to make this biography less boring to read. I tried but I came up short with a less than impressive paper. I'm a sophomore in high school and unfortunately my old english teachers never went over biographies very well. Here goes.... Lois Duncan Behind the Chapters On a warm spring day, April 28, 1934 to be exact, the author who would change suspense writing forever was born. In the town of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Lois Duncan, a tiny girl with an enormous imagination was raised. Little did her parents know at the time, but she would go on to become one of the best mystery novelists of all time. Lois had one brother named Bill and two loving parents, Joseph and Lois Steinmetz. Her astonishing writing talents appeared early in her life. Her mother accounts the first time Lois’ talents became apparent, “Lois was never one to play with other children at school; she would always break away and start writing. We never paid much attention to it until she was in the third grade and brought home a book she was writing. After that, we knew writing was her gift.†Lois started submitting stories to magazines at age ten, and at age thirteen she had her first story, Calling All Girls, published. Lois went on to attend Duke University, but she dropped out because she wanted to focus on a family and marriage. She was married twice and had a total of five children. Eventually, she went back to school to receive her Bachelor’s degree in English to help her with her writing. Over this time period she wrote over six novels in the mystery genre for children and young adults. She enjoyed using her gift to spark an interest in reading in the young minds of children. Three of her novels received a Parent’s Choice Award. She also won the American Library Association Best Book award. Lois Duncan’s career as a mystery writer for children gave her the opportunity to perform her talent everyday—writing. However, success does not always come without obstacles. On July 16, 1989, her youngest daughter, Kaitlyn Arquette, was murdered. The case was never closed in the court records or in Lois’ heart. After her daughter’s death, Lois Duncan wrote her first psychological suspense novel entitled, Who Killed My Daughter?†The novel is considered nonfiction, because all of the facts and events are real occurrences that took place in the case of her daughter’s murder. From that point on, Lois Duncan continued writing thrillers with plots more suitable for a teenager than a child. She wrote over forty books focusing on the supernatural and was nominated for numerous awards in the mystery and suspense category. Even with the enormous tribulation Lois suffered through, it brought out the best of her abilities. She was able to use her daughter’s story to motivate her to pick up the pen day after day. Lois Duncan has had an impeccable career full of successes and hardships. Lois Duncan is well past the age to retire but cannot seem to give up her passion for writing. She has novels still being published and plans to continue writing for as long as she can. Lois Duncan has set an incredibly high standard for future mystery authors. Her talents and impact on the mystery genre as a whole will be remembered for generations to come. well my teacher gave me a c+ on this so something can be improved.

Actually Hun, I have to tell you..what you have isn't bad at all. The one thing I usually look for when reading a bio is that there's no consistancy from beginning to end or when the writer seems to add facts out of date, meaning jumping back and then forward again. You offer both insight and factual information. I didn't find it boring at all, but indeed interesting. I really cannot see many changes needed. Good luck, hope you get an A+, cause you deserve one! EDIT, bummer..and sorry the teacher gave you a C..I thought it was well worded..next time for sure, huh? a hug for a great attempt.

Why'd I get an F on this paper?
Why'd I get an F on this paper? :<?
In my life, I have had many idols-From Elliot Smith to Ben Folds, they have never been scarce in number. However, I am taking this time to dedicate my paragraph to the one person who has shaped my life greatly - Will Smith. Willard Christopher Smith, Jr. was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Because of his behavior he had gained himself the nickname "Fresh Prince" in high school, where he ended his schooling career. After skipping college, Mr. Smith recorded many rap albums, where he started off his rap career, earning the first Grammy ever given in the rap category. However, it was not to be. Heading towards bankrupts in 1990, Will struck a deal; a contract with NBC, agreeing to be the main character of a new-wave TV sitcom: "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air". The show revolved around the various misadventures and misdeeds of a lovably miscreant by the name of Will, featuring an opening tune written and performed aptly by Will Smith, himself. The show was best known for its myriad of recurring gangs and ability to go beyond breaking the fourth wall, but absolutely shattering it. The show was, needless to say a hit and boosted Smith's career into stardom. After the show ended in 1996, Smith began a successful solo career in music, whilst starring in quite a few films such as Independence Day, and Men In Black. The two particular films established Smith's commercial reputation as a bankable star whose appeal exceeded concepts such as age, race, and gender and into a whole new area in the box office. After a while his solo career spiraled into the abyss of failure. It was then that his mom got scared and said "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air." I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said fresh and had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare but I thought "naw forget it, yo homes in Bel-Air"! I pulled put to a house about seven or eight and I yelled to the cabby "yo, homes smell you later"! I looked at my kingdom, I was finally there to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air. ▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲ Yes, age and date were included. I think the teacher is racist (I'm white). Not one has yet to point out out that it ends with the Fresh Prince theme song. What... what the fuck?

You were supposed to talk about how he shaped your life? What you did was an expose about HIS accomplishments. How were they related to you? How did his career shape what you did in your own life???? In short, I think that you got an F because you didn't really answer the question. You do use words well, but think about how your ideas are organized. Whenever I had to write papers, I first thought about the questions and then tried to answer it in one or two sentences. Then I filled in the rest with examples and concluded with my final statement about how it is relevant to the question at hand. As you write, keep asking yourself "what does this have to do with what I am being asked" and then answer the question as if the person who will read it doesn't know what you were asked! Hang in there!!!!

From your first sentence it seems the paper is to be about idols and role models in your life. While your paper is a great biography piece on Will Smith and his role in a 90's show, nowhere do you explain how his success has influenced your life. Why is he an idol? What changes have occurred in your outlook on life or attitude that can be connected to his personal life? I really do not think race has anything to do with your bad grade. It seems that you did not complete the assignment.

Were you ask who was an idol in your life or who influence you? If so you did not complete the assignment. All you did was give a bio I could of read off a Will Smith web page. Any college student should be able to write a better paper than this

Read this please!! Does it sound okay? Easy ten points, just give your opinion.?
So I have to write a speech for Social Studies class. We have to be an important person in history. I'm Louisa May Alcott. While, you're reading this, here's the questions I'd like you to answer; (a) is the intro and closing creative? (b) is there enough information? (c) is it okay that I talk in first person? or would it sound better if i talked in third person (the teacher says its our choice) (d) overall, is it a good report? Louisa May Alcott Introduction What famous woman in history wrote the classic, Little Women, was a women's rights advocate, AND participated in the American Civil War? The answer is Louisa May Alcott. This is the story of her life and accomplishments. INFORMATION, PART A: EARLY YEARS Louisa May Alcott was born on November 29, 1832 . IShe was the daughter of a well-known transcendentalist, Amos Bronson Alcott, and his wife, Abigail May Alcott. Louisa had one older sister, Anna Bronson. The Alcott family lived in Germantown (which is now a part of Philadelphia), Pennsylvania. Later, Louisa had two younger sisters, Elizabeth Sewall Alcott and Abigail May Alcott. Little did she know that her relationship with her sisters would make her famous. In 1834, their family moved to Boston, Massachusetts, so Louisa's father would create an experimental school and join the Transcendtal Club with noted educator; Ralph Waldo Emerson and the naturalist, Henry David Thoreau. The Alcotts had many temporary homes due to setbacks with my father's school before finally buying a house in Concord, Massachusetts. Louisa and her sisters were homeschooled, by Thoreau and Mr. Alcott. However, the girls recieved some schooling from educators and writers such as Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Margaret Fuller. All of them were family friends. Louisa titled her early years, 'Transcendentalist Wild Oats' in a newspaper sketch many years later. WHY SHE WAS FAMOUS Alcott was an extremely hard-working feminist. She wrote romance novels, under the pen 'A.M. Bernard,' such as A Long Fatal Love Chase, and Paulina's Passion and Punishments. Although these stories were very successful, it was not what made Louisa May Alcott a household name. Louisa hit ,literary success in 1868, when she wrote the famous novel, Little Women. Little Women is loosely based upon Louisa and her sisters growing up in Concord. The sequels, Part Second (1869), Little Men (1871), and Jo's Boys (1886) completed the successful 'March Family Saga'. She had many later volumes that followed Little Women. Louisa then went on to become an advocate of women's suffrage and was the first woman to vote in Concord, in a school board election. She joined a group of female writers that wrote articles about women's issues. Newspaper columnists applauded their work. LATER YEARS Louisa May Alcott wrote until her death. Her death was due to mercury poisoning during her service to the American Civil War. She died in Boston on March 6th, 1888, two days after her father had passed. She was 55 years old. Louisa May Alcott's grave still remains in Sleepy Hollow Cemetary in Concord. HOW SHE CHANGED THE WORLD Louisa May Alcott surely left a mark in Historical American Literature. The story of the March sisters still remains a classic today, and inspired many authors around the world, who wrote biographies about Alcott's amazing life. She also inspired many people for standing up for women's rights or participating in the American Civil War. CLOSING Louisa May Alcott will always be remember for her intelligence, bold personality, and creativity. Many generations will continue to read her work, and be inspired by it. Is this okay?? Please help! Remember, the intro and closing need to be REALLY creative...so any better ideas for those would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I think you've missed the point of the exercise. This isn't first person writing at all. This isn't you being a character, this is a standard essay about someone. If you have to "be" the character, then you can't say "Louisa May Alcott", you have to say "I".

Universities don't have an American History program per se, especially for teachers. If you're looking to be a teacher you want to look for schools that have a good Education program. When you are in college to become a teacher you get a degree in Education with a minor in whatever you're going to teach. Hope this helps! Good luck!

In response to mamianka's generous help (thank you!), I am a high school alto I/soprano II from New Jersey trying out for the ACDA All-Eastern Choir, to be held in February 2010 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I understand that this year will not have an SATB choir, but rather High School Men's and Women's choirs, Children's Honors Choir, and a Jazz Honor Choir. I know that this is not a direct audition, but is conducted by way of mailing in a video. I'm aware that this is a highly competitive audition, and I'm not expecting to be accepted. I would, however, like to audition for the experience and to see how I compare among others on the east coast. I'm only a little lost on choosing a song for the solo section.

Like most auditions, you may have to sing two songs. If this is the situation, pick to contrasting pieces. For example, I earned a Superior rating with these two pieces: 1) Vittoria Mio Core (Fast, Italian) by Carissimi 2) Mi Sueno (Slow, Spanish) by Kilenyi I highly recommend Vittoria; it's challenging and demanding for the voice. There's tons of melismas and contrasting tones. You'll have plenty of fun with that one! Hope this helps! Good luck on your audition.

NOW I see what you want - ACDA is an entirely different system than MENC. I was never involved in ACDA, but am heavily involved for many years in NYSSMA/MENC. So - all I can do is wish you luck, and point you towards choosing as fine private teacher. The "can you hear me now?" idea is So perfect in describing your writing in here - we CANNOT hear you, we do no know you or your voice, and you need advice THIS important from someone who DOES! I am a flute judge, and this is like when a student writes in and wants to know, for example, if they are doing vibrato correctly - no video, just a question! Find someone who can works with YOU - rather than asking here. This is NOT the place to correctly help you with your question - sorry!

What grade would you give this informative essay?
What grade would you give this informative essay?
I'm in 8th grade... This man is a basketball player who eats, sleeps and breathes the game. This basketball player is a Los Angeles Laker and devoted athlete who goes by the name of Kobe Bean Bryant. Kobe Bryant was born on August 23, 1978 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His parents Joe and Pam named him after the famous beef, in Kobe, Japan; the idea popped into their head after looking at a restaurant menu. His father, Joe, was a professional basketball player. His career took him to different countries all around the amazing world (answers.com/topic/kobe-bryant). Kobe pretty much grew up in Italy where his father played basketball. You can imagine where he got his inspiration and great interest for basketball from considering his old man wore a jersey. By the time Kobe was three, he was already telling people he was going to participate in the NBA. His favorite player was Magic Johnson, a point guard, in a power forwards body (Basketball: A History of Hoops). Bryant admired his flashy ways and skills. He right then and there in Houston decided that the Lakers were his new favorite professional team. This is why he rightfully refused to join any team besides the Los Angeles Lakers. Kobe Bryant became really engaged in his father’s basketball career. He rarely, if ever, missed a game. Entertaing fans by shooting some hoops at his father’s games was something this boy loved to do. During the games, he would carefully observe his dad’s moves and then after words, try to mimic them (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobe_Bryant ). Maybe this is how he learned his wicked awesome moves. Traveling to different places, like Europe, Italy, and various locations in the United States of America, had its ups and downs. He practically knew basketball like the back of his hand from experiencing soo many games. Kobe also could speak different languages pretty well. After living a few months in Italy, he was fluent in speaking the language. On the flipside, even though he was an A and B student, Kobe struggled to relate to other classmates. As, a result of being in a different country, Bryant didn’t know much of the slang the scholars used. He would just nod and walk away instead of communicating (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobe_Bryant). This young star’s success quickly progressed. As a junior, he averaged 31 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists. That year he was honored with the Pennsylvania Player of the Year title. In the four years he attended high school he scored 2,883 points! Academics were not about to stall Kobe, after all he did receive outstanding scores on his SAT. An All Star was something Bryant strongly dreamt of becoming (sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3118). After his outstanding year, major colleges from all over were definitely considering him. As shocking as it is, Kobe just decided to go straight into the NBA without college. Kobe was traded with player, Vlade Divac, and then he began to play for the Lakers instead of the Charlotte Hornets (kobebryantlive.com). He was ecstatic, not only was he playing for his favorite team, but he was also excited that there was a handful of talent on the team besides him. The Los Angeles Lakers were convinced that Kobe would help them to success. They figured if Bryant was the son of a previous basketball player he would most likely leave the other rookies in his dust, and the crowds in awe. Kobe had been around basketball his whole life ever since he was a little munchkin. Surely having him on the team could and would only lead to success. There were many highlights in Kobe Bryant’s first season. He was the NBA’s youngest starter in history. He was eighteen years, five months, and five days old. He also set a record of thirty-one points in a rookie game and Kobe won the Nestle Crunch Slam Dunk Contest. He impressed the judges with passing the ball between his legs and throwing down a ferocious, rim-shaking windmill jam, which scored a nearly perfect 49 points. No other Laker had achieved this type of challenge (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobe_Bryant). Kobe’s fist signature shoe line came out this year as well. KB8 is what it became known as. Bryant’s career consists of many other outstanding accomplishments. Like for instance, being a NBA Champion. This was exactly the case from 2000-03. He was rewarded with the NBA’s MVP award this year (2008), as well as two other years in the past. Kobe was an all time scoring champ in the years of 2006-07. This awesomely amazing athlete has been an All Star 10 times! WHOO! He has also been plainly a regular season leader throughout these longgggg years of his career. For 10 consecutive years he has raised the bar for points scored in a season records or amount of points scored in a game. Fantastic is what this youthful dreaming boy has become over the years. Kobe is almost thirty now and still living his dreams. He completed his education; there aren’t any major weaknesses in his basketball skills. He can basically do whatever
