I’ve wanted to be a doctor for a long time, but now it’s coming to my A-levels I am starting to have doubts. I sometimes watch real life medical programs on television and can’t watch because the procedure is too gory. Stuff to do with the body doesn’t bother me – but I would not like to have to mess with peoples faces or throats and things. I would like to be a pediatrician, but in my initial training will I have to deal with doing things like this?

I know that I would like to be a teacher at some point even if it’s just before retirement, but would I be better just doing this instead? or would I not feel the same sense of achievement?

HELP!

Seems to be an inherent conflict of interest here.

The people work for the state, are mostly all part of labor unions, and have ridiculous benefit and retirement packages. They have EVERY reason to support the Left.

It should be noted that these benefit/retirement packages are paid for by tax payers. It’s amazing what part of my state’s budget go towards paying these excessive pensions.

It is obvious that it is in their best interest to be Liberal and to present information with a Liberal bias.

Giving a group retirement gift to my daughter’s teacher. Most families donated money but not all. If I sign the card in general from all the families is that appropriate or should only those who gave money get their name included and leave out those who did not? My plan was to sign it from all the 2010 families. Those that did donate I think would be o.k. if all were given credit. It doesn’t feel right to exclude someone especially if they couldn’t afford to donate.

When I was in second grade, the adults around me hyped "The Class of 2000." They painted a picture of prosperity and hope. I was told, "do well in school, work hard, go to college, and things will work out." What I envisioned was a house in a safe neighborhood. I would work nearby. My kids would attend the school at which I taught, etc. And I NEVER expected it to come easy. I would work hard and my hard work would pay off.

Now I am 28. I graduated from high school in the class of 2000. The hype continued throughout my education, instilling in me high expectations for the years beyond high school. After graduation, I went to college, earned my B.A., graduated with honors, earned a teaching credential, and I took out loans to pay for it all. Unfortunately, I teach in California, a state that is so short-sighted that it’s leaders don’t see the benefit of putting money into education. (Why put money into preventative measures when it is just as easy to fund law enforcement and prisons)? The result: new, well-educated teachers drowning in student loans, eager to teach and have a positive effect on California’s future, receiving pink slips several years in a row.

So far I’ve been lucky, (though I almost wish I hadn’t said that). But in today’s world, it seems even following the rules won’t get you where you, (and many others), thought you would be. Instead, I am an educated adult wondering not only if I will be able to provide the same type of life for my children as my parents were able to provide for me and my siblings, but I also find myself wondering will I be able to afford children, period!

I find myself wondering if I will have to leave California to fulfill the dream of owning a home one day. I find myself looking into the faces of a hundred students daily, saying "when" they get to college, wondering if I should really be saying "if." I wonder why this country feels it’s so important to fix everyone else’s problems before we fix our own. I wonder if I should even be hoping for anything anymore.

As I watch my retirement-aged parents sell the house I grew up in, I try not to look at their situation as the end of the American Dream. But it is difficult to think anything other than that when I know they purchased their first house when they were my age; my middle-class parents could own a home with only one of them working full-time, only one of them with a college degree. My fiance and I both hold B.A.s. We can scarcely afford rent for our 1 bedroom!

So I guess my question is: Is there any chance people in my age-bracket will be able to live at least as well as their parents did? What about those that follow? It the American Dream dead? If so, can it be revived?

A teacher of mine is gonna retire. I told her a lot and learned a lot of advices from her, etc. She also knows that I do poetry writing. So I wanna give a poem to her. For her retirement,

1. Should I write the poem on a piece of paper or something? Give some ideas since it’s for her retirement, it’s gotta be something special. I have no idea about decoration or making a nice gift.

2. Do you think I should make a new poem or choose one of my really nice poems below? Seriously, I made them. It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe me but I know the truth and I know myself, my heart.

My Dream

Blue
Skies high
Above us
Inspired my heart
To roam through the seas
Above the azure skies
As free as the birds I’ve seen
Flying towards a place I dream
While the winds brushing off the worries
So I will fly to where all our dreams lie
Within our hearts, where hopes are held up high
Towards the light will someday be true
Letting my heart embraces all
There is to be in this world
Weaving all of our tales
Within I treasure
Everything
I will feel
Till the
End.

Looking Up

Looking up towards the sky,
Where birds spread their wings and fly.
I wonder how would the future be?
Once a brighter future is set free?

Moments drifting in my mind,
With the past I left behind.
Believe in the distant future,
As I will be my best from here.

Where I believe and I wonder,
Where I will smile and I wander.
Cerulean skies, thousand smiles,
The light of the future shines.

Their Wings

The birds that fly freely in the sky,
The birds that have no worries over their wings;
From time to time, they’ll fly through their sky,
Spread their wings, cherish their freedom.

Their eyes watch over the world,
Their wings spread through the seas,
Facing, flying over the mystical land
Without the surging hourglass.

They fly, embrace their freedom
Over limitless time, in this verse,
They see; they soar high in the air
Over and over the cerulean sky.

Time Moves Slowly Today

The sun rises on a morning;
Slowly I rise, from eyes sleeping.
The light illuminates the day,
I see that time moves slowly today.

Walking along the road I see
Everyone as they feel free.
Under the sun’s bright shining ray,
I see that time moves slowly today.

White clouds drifting apart
Beneath the sky looks like a heart.
As time passes, kids come and play;
I see that time moves slowly today.

The evening sun setting down;
I just gaze and wave, here from town.
As the night starts to make its way,
I see that time moves slowly today.

Walking back, as I keep walking;
Everyone would be talking.
They have fun, weariness away,
I see that time moves slowly today.

Sparkling stars of the sky tonight
Guided by wonders of moonlight,
I am dazzled, too much to say;
I see that time moves slowly today.

Closing my eyes not all too soon;
Watching the night view of the moon.
Serenity, down as I lay,
I see that time moves slowly today.

Smile (11:30p.m. 18/12/2009)

Smile, when you mean it
As an awkward smile shows
That you are unhappy
With your own life

Smile, whenever you want to
Show your happiness
Towards your own life
Because it is what you feel

Smile, before you leave here
As others would always
Want to see you again
Because of that smile

To My Life (21/6/2010)

As I sing from my heart to you,
I feel my dreams becoming true.
I wish this time would last for days.
To my life, thank you as always.

When I keep holding to my might,
I would know things will be alright.
Future comes in wonderful ways.
To my life, thank you as always.

There is a meaning towards life
That’s why I continue to thrive.
Within my hands, shining light rays.
To my life, thank you as always.

As I sing from my heart to you,
To my life, thank you as always.

A person residing in Chicago, Illinois: What are the qualifications for becoming a Pre-School teacher? What kind of test do you have to take? Also, what benefits and medical insurance are presented to you during employment? How can you sign up for retirement early?

I can get a job quicker by laying out in the sun, wearing a tattered shirt that says deportivo cruz azul, and speaking in tongues. So why not send our children into the work force at 10 years old so that they can get a head start on saving for retirement. That way we save our tax dollars by cutting out the 5th through 12th grade which also creates more personel(teachers, principals, janitors, cooks) for our labor force.

I want to buy my mom a retirement gift to show my appreciation to her for working so hard over the years to support me and put me through college. She often thinks I don’t appreciate her just because she doesn’t think I thank her enough and we get into little fights at times but I want to show her I actually care. She’s retiring after about 38 years of being a high school teacher. What can I get her that isn’t expensive? I’m on the tight college student budget! She likes to cook. She cooks dinner every night and we always have family and friends over for summer bbqs (my dad does the bbqing while my mom cooks side dishes) and holidays. There’s always tons of food involved and she likes everything in a casual setting. She likes useful kitchen supplies/tools that are high quality but she hates it if I buy something that takes up space on the counter, so it would have to be something that can easily be stored away.

My family has a love for food and my mom loves seafood, especially fresh dungenous crab.

She also likes to travel. She usually only likes things that are practical/functional (not things that just sit around the house and don’t do anything). The only exception to that is jewelry- the only problem with that is, she doesn’t like costume jewelry. She only wears 18 or 24 kt gold and diamonds. So I guess that’s out of the picture since I can’t afford that.
My mom’s friend is already treating her to a facial at a spa.

I am in charge of getting government (state/federal) recognition letters to present to a teacher, who is retiring, at her retirement banquet. I’ve got the state done. I emailed the White House three months ago inquiring, but have not received an answer. I would like to call the White House for information (I have the number), but I don’t know what department to speak to.

After a spring break, a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent
the holidays. One child wrote the following:

"We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa. They
used to live here in a big brick house, but Grandpa got retarded and they
moved to Arizona. Now they live in a place with a lot of other
retarded people. They live in a tin box and have rocks painted green to look
like grass. They ride around on big tricycles and wear name tags because
they don’t know who they are anymore.

"They go to a building called a wrecked center, but they must have got
it fixed, because it is all right now. They play games and do exercises
there, but they don’t do them very well. There is a swimming pool too,
but they all jump up and down in it with their hats on. I guess they
don’t know how to swim.

"At their gate, there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in
it. He watches all day so nobody can escape. Sometimes they sneak out.
Then they go cruising in their golf carts.

"My Grandma used to bake cookies and stuff, but I guess she forgot how.
Nobody there cooks, they just eat out. And they eat the same thing
every night – Early Birds. Some of the people can’t get past the man in
the doll house to go out. So the ones who do get out bring food back to
the wrecked center and call it pot luck.

"My Grandma says Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and
says I should work hard so I can be retarded some day too. When I earn
my retardment I want to be the man in the doll house. Then I will let
people out so they can visit their grandchildren."
