What career should I look into?
I want to see the world. Every bit of culture and history that it has to offer. I am so fascinated by every culture that there is. I want to know everything about every group of people there is. I am especially fascinated by Eastern Countries, for some reason. I want to see Morocco, Italy, Indonesia, and my dream is to some day, move to Sri Lanka. I want to just run through puddles of mud with no shoes on, and not worry about buying the latest trends. I want to stand face to face with an elephant (I think). What I really dream of, is helping. Talking to, and caring for all Underdeveloped ethnic groups I can get my hands on. What I really want to do, is just know everything? I don't know, I'm just fascinated by Culture. So what career do you think that I should go into? I am in Nursing School, so do you think that I should just be a traveling nurse? HELPPPP!

As a nurse you could be very valuable to an NGO (Non Governmental Organization) like Doctors Without Borders. You could serve a couple years in the Peace Corps and see some of the world. There are lots of opportunities for health care workers, especially in the third world. You might consider taking a third-world language, like Arabic or Swahili or Urdu or Hindi.
2 :
Pilot or flight attendant or maybe world wide relief worker.

Speech For funeral
Speech For funeral.....?
Hi, My grandmother just died and I want to read this letter i just wrote to her at her funeral. thoughts? (sorry its long) Dear Grandma, I love you. They are three simple words but they are so powerful. You taught me that. I have never felt as loved as I did when I would visit you. I want you to know what and incredible person you are. You changed the lives of everyone around you. Your life was so powerful and meaningful and I wonder if you know that. You will forever live on in my heart and our family’s hearts. Without you I could not be the same person I am today. The kisses you blew me every time we would say see you soon, the wet smooch you would give me on my cheek when I would walk in the door, and how you would grab my hand and get so excited just when you saw my face. They were all such little things, yet they taught me the power of love and family. You showed me how a family could love one another and how a family should be. I can’t thank you enough for being my grandmother. I don’t know how you did it. You faced some incredible challenges that I cannot imagine facing. You worked your hardest to make sure your kids and grandkids would not have to face those challenges. Thank you. Every time I would see you, you would have a story. Sometimes they were the same ones and others were new, or you would take and old story and jazz it up to make it a lot more interesting. There was the story of the time 2 handsome doctors carried you over the bridge in Italy. Or the time you were walking down the streets of Boston with a friend and saw two French sailors. Your friend told you to speak to them in French so you said “Bonjour Sir Capitain!†and as you would say, “and after that we couldn’t get rid’ of ‘em the whole day.†One time you told me that when in Italy you snuck into a museum with your sister, and for reasons I don’t remember were chased all over the city by a security guard and you had to hide in your hotel room for days. I think that was one of your embellished stories. Either way it made me laugh. I am so proud to have you as my grandmother. I truly can’t tell you that enough. I know you’re not gone, your spirit is still alive and well I promise, and I see a little more of you each day in the little things I or my aunts or cousins say and do, from the tissues I keep in my pockets and purse at hand at all times or the cookies and chocolates I keep stashed away in my room. I want to promise that I will not give up on my art work, I promise that I will always think of you if I go to France or travel anywhere for that matter and take lots of pictures , and I promise I will play a tune on the piano for you every now and then. I will make sure that Caitlin looks beautiful at her wedding. And I promise that we will all dance the night away, because I know how you always loved a good party and some good food. I want you to know how loved you are, from all your family, friends, my friends, family friends, nursing home staff, doctors, everybody you spoke to! We love you so much. I miss you grandma I really do. But I love you even more. You helped me face so many challenges without ever knowing it. When I would come visit you whatever I had been thinking or worrying about that day had disappeared, whether it was friends or school work, all that mattered was family and how lucky I was to have you and sit there and hold your hand. I want you to know that every once and a while when I would do bad on a test or get impatient with a friend I would think how you and grandpa would always tell me just how much you love me, and then I would be alright. Thank you. I conquered some of my biggest fears thanks to you. During one of my last visits to see you, I had said something to you and you just looked at my mom and said “Sweet Anna†with such a loving look on your face, which meant more than you will ever know to me. You are the most incredible person I have ever met in my life, and I was lucky enough for you to be my grandma. I know you wouldn’t want us to be sad. You would want us to have fun and maybe have a cookie. Whenever I see a pretty cloud, a tree blowing in the wind, a sunset, a day at the beach, mountains, flowers, anything beautiful, I’ll always here you in my head saying “I wish I could paint that.†You are a beautiful person grandma, the most beautiful person I have ever met inside and out. Your life was beautiful, and you raised a beautiful family that I am blessed to call my own. Thank you grandma, I can never say it enough. I love you, and as always I’ll see you soon. Love, Little Anna.

OMG I CRIED JUST READING THAT! I WOULD OF LOOVE TO USE THAT (IF THE FUNERAL WAS IN THE FUTURE!

First and foremost, i am so sorry for your loss-my thoughts are with you. Secondly, this is a beautiful, moving letter. It is ultimately up to you as far as whether you want to read this at the funeral or not. If i were you, i would instead perform some sort of eulogy-it would be more appropriate. The reason for this is due to that tradition at a funeral. Instead of directly addressing her in the way you'd like to, it's best to address her generally, in front of everyone who attends the funeral. Talk about her, her life, how she affected everybody around her, talk about anything and everything you want to. This letter that you wrote, i think is something that you should more so hold onto, cherish, and keep to yourself. Perhaps place it somewhere to hold onto and keep for the rest of your life. If you choose to create a vigil in your room or house, you can even keep the letter in or on the vigil. The main reason why i would discourage you reading this letter is really only because it is a personal thing that was meant to be read by her and written and read by yourself. If you'd like, you can reword some of this in a way that generally addresses her to the people who listen to you; what she did for you, your family, but word it in a way like "my grandmother did" or "my grandmother affected" instead of saying "you," use third person terms (she, her, and "my grandmother did" "my grandmother affected" etc). This is just my opinion. It is absolutely up to you though as to what you want to do. If you feel that you really want to read this letter, absolutely do it. Again, my deepest condolences to you and your family.

I promise you it's really not interesting; but im out of ideas
I promise you it's really not interesting; but im out of ideas...?
---Like the title mentions, this is not the most intriguing thing, but it is a personal situation circumstance that has me out of solutions: read at your own interest. --I am 25 years old, I work in a hospital 40hrs a week, I am halfway complete with my nursing (bachelors) schooling. While I have an associates in electronic engineering, this does me little good with my regional hiring situation. --------Luckily, I live with my folks and am rent free; unfortunately that living situation is coming to a screeching halt. While I will leave out DRAMA (to save space; and keep your interest?), (for those still interested, read-on) my folks relationship is not looking to good, thus I do not believe this house is gonna be remained occupied for to much longer, by anyone. --Here is the part im stuck at. I have, lets say, $3600 in the bank; I will receive a tuition refund check from my employer since im studying nursing, roughly a $3000 check in 2.5months. ----------Forgot to add, I do not believe either parent is gonna do to well on their own since they were born in Italy. Their english is not great, but they are able to get around and resolve most things on own.---------- Also: Luckily my position at work allows me 3hrs a night to study; since I work the 11p-7a shift, it gets pretty quite around 1-4am. The bad part is its only $9 an hour. I start clinicals in December of 09, which is EXTREMELY demanding, for this reason I am unable to take a higher paying position given my current allows at me at least 3hrs a night to study. Thanks to those who read it, have any ideas/solutions that allows me to continue with my studies and not be distracted with the "at home drama"? Housing seems to be the issue. If your wondering to yourself, why is this asked in psychology? ---It's because this is the only section that I can come up with where people think before responding. P.s. You can imagine what this is doing to me in terms of mental health and maintaining a clear focused train of thought.

Have you thought about possibly living on your schools campus? where do you live (city/state) im in pittsburgh and you can get a studio apt here for like 400 a month which would come out to about 3600 a year which is your savings and you could live off of your 9 bucks an hour. have you thought about looking on craigs list for roommates? some are crazy but it sounds like you just need a place to rest your head not somewhere to live just yet so it might work out.

How funny is this joke
How funny is this joke?
A doctor was having an affair with his nurse. Shortly afterward, she told him that she was pregnant. Not wanting his wife to know, he gave the nurse a sum of money and asked her to go to Italy and have the baby there. "But how will I let you know the baby is born?" she asked. He replied, "Just send me a postcard and write "spaghetti" on the back. I'll take care of expenses." Not knowing what else to do, the nurse took the money and flew to Italy. Six months went by, and then one day the doctor's wife called him at the office and said, "Dear, you received a very strange postcard in the mail today from Europe, and I don't understand what it means." The doctor said, "Just wait until I get home and I will explain it to you." Later that evening the doctor came home, read the postcard, and fell to the floor with a heart attack. Paramedics rushed him to the hospital emergency room. The head medic stayed back to comfort the wife. He asked what trauma had precipitated the cardiac arrest. So the wife picked up the card and read: "Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti - Two with sausage and meatballs; two without." Sorry I killed the joke. I copied and pasted it and forgot the punchline...lol. I'm at work so I went to check the responses 20 minutes later and saw I had forgotten the last line.
