I want to travel but how?
I keep hearing about all the cool places my friends have gotten to go: Italy, Australia, Africa, and it just makes me sad that I'll never have that kind of opportunity. I'm too far into my studies to be an exchange student, and I don't think they do that for nursing students anyway. I feel like I've missed my chance to travel. Once I'm out of college, I'll be working non-stop to try and pay off my student loans. Once I get married/have a family I can't be traveling then. Should I just forget about it, or do you think there's some way it could work?

After you pay off your student loans, you could wait a few years and travel before you settle down.

First- of course you can travel when you get married! Ever heard of a honeymoon? Plus with two incomes you have more travelling options. My husband and I travel at least once a year and we are far from millionaires. It also helps because we know more people around the world that way. Second, you will be working a lot, but everyone gets vacation time on their job. I'd say just make it your priority- above buying a cool car, a new TV, etc., just put that money away for a trip. And keep looking out for cheap flights, last minute deals, etc. Happy travelling...

I really do think that there is a way to make it work. Why not try a trip over your spring break or over the summer. I know that EF CollegeBreak has some good deals for college students, its an 18-26 thing) Maybe you should check that out to see it it works for you. They also have a discount code too, its hesseln1188 and it gets you $50 off. Or try STA travel, sine ive seen that they do have good flights deals. I think sometimes you have to just pencil it in, and make opportunities for yourself to go. But life does not end after college, like the person above me said, you can just go on family vacations and so on. Really, its nice to travel while your young, but you can do it later too. Good luck.

Which short story idea is better
Which short story idea is better?
It has to be under 1500 words. 1. An old lady and an eighteen year old guy meet at a nursing home when the boy is doing community service to pay for something bad he did. He has a kid and his dreams of being a pilot are put on the back burner when he realizes that he must get a factory-level job in order to pay for his child. He feels hopeless. The old woman feel hopeless because her life is nearly over and she has no one. When she was younger, she too had a kid at a young age. They realize how much they have in common and become best friends, giving each other the strength they need to go on. 2. A journalist, Charlotte, from Cleveland, Ohio is working on an assignment in Sicily, Italy when she meets a man, Pascal, who works for the mafia. He offers her $10,000 dollars if she agrees to smuggle his drugs into France. She attempts to do so, but she is stopped before she even gets on the plane, though they haven't found the drugs yet. Pascal, being the con artist he is and having the connections he does, does his best to help himself and the journalist get out of their predicament before too much damage is done. Pascal and Charlotte fall in love somewhere in between. What do you think?? Which sounds more interesting?

I really like the idea of number two. It reminds me a lot of Locked Up Aboard which was a great series. I suggest you look into those real life stories and incorporate the obstacles they faced into your story. I'd really like a copy of either one, though :)
2 :
They both have a lot of potential. I think the student should evaluate what the teacher might like the best, or which follow-up would get you the best grade (if it is for a grade). Otherwise go with the one you like best.

Can You Please Edit My Essay
Can You Please Edit My Essay?
okay so i have to write this essay about what my dreams in life are going to be. i really need to know if i did good on this, so can you please read over my essay and tell me if i need to correct anything and tell me if it's good? thank you(: (btw, i'm in 7th grade) As a young girl, my dreams have always been to be happy, successful, and to make the best out of life at the same time. I will attend college and medical school to become a pharmacist, get married, and start a family. To be well prepared for college, I have to excel in middle and high school. In everything I do, whether it's a career or motherhood, I will strive to be the best I can. In high school, I will take advanced classes, take part in extra-curricular activities, and do volunteer work. I will also strive to graduate as class valedictorian. Graduating at the top of my class will increase my chances of being accepted into the best schools. I wan to major in Pharmacy, which means four years of undergraduate study at the University of Illinois and two to four years in the Pharmacy program at the University of Chicago. Eventually, I will earn a Doctorate Degree in Pharmacy. My academic goal for college is not only to get good grades, but to learn and gain experiences that will prepare me for the future. I plan to get a job as a pharmacist at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Illinois and work there for about seven years. Aside from my career, I want to get married to a man I will meet in college or medical school when I am 26 years old and live in an average-sized four bedroom home in Chicago. We will get married in Italy and go on a honeymoon to Hawaii. After a few years of being married, I will start a family and have children, preferably two girls named Abby and Olivia, that I will spend lots of time with. In my spare time, I will do a lot of volunteer work with my friends and family. For example, I'll help out at animal shelters and nursing homes. Additionally, my family and I will go on plenty of vacations and travel around the world. A lot of my family lives in Poland, so I will occasionally visit them. For fun, my family and I will enjoy bike riding, swimming, watching movies, fishing, and just spending plenty of time with each other. To pursue a dream means to stick your mind to something and follow it. You need a lot of ambition and determination in order to be able to maintain a strong and happy like. In the future, I'm hoping to become a pharmacist and support a small and healthy family. I know that in order to follow my dream, I must do my best in everything and have enough perseverance to make my ambitions and goals in life come true.

Very well written, very clear goals. Are you sure you're in 7th grade?! lol
2 :
you dreams are very vivid,and i like the confidence you put in your work...this is a great essay..very well planned...you don't have to change anything, but i must say its not completely perfect because in 1 paragraph is 5 sentences(but your in 7th grade so idk how your teacher is grading you)im in 10th grade English honers class so they let us do 10 page essays front and back XP. but yes im pretty confident your going to get an "A" on that essay :)
3 :
Great essay, but you might wanna say "pharmacy school" instead of medical school if you want to become a pharmacist, althought I doubt it makes a difference in the quality of your essay :)
4 :
To me, dreams (plural) refer mostly to the kind you have when you are sleeping. Dream (singular) implies a big life goal. Even if you have more than one goal, it is part of one big dream, so I would make it a singular noun in your first sentence. Some parts of your dream seem very specific...such as meeting a man when you're 26, picking out which schools to go to, or working at Good Samaritan Hospital. How disappointed will be be is these things do not happen? A lot of things can change between now and then. Dreams need some room for flexibility and change. To improve your essay, I would say why you want the things you want, especially why you want to be a pharmacist. The last paragraph is great.

Spaghetti anyone
Spaghetti anyone?
Spaghetti, anyone? A dr. was having an affair with his nurse for many months when she suddenly announced she was pregnant. Not wanting his wife to know, the doctor gave the nurse a large sum of money and sent her to Italt to have the baby. "How will I let you know when the baby is born?" she asked. "Just send me a postcard and write spaghetti on the back, I'll take care of all the expenses." he replied With nothing else to do the nurse left heartbroken for Italy. Six months went by, and one day the doctor's wife called him at the office. " Dear, you recieved a very strange postcard in the mail today, from Italy. I don't quite understand what it means." The dr. suddenly wracked with guilt, said," Just wait until I get home, I'll explain everything to you then." The Dr. came home later that evening read the postcard, and fell to the floor with a heart attack. He was rushed to the ER, where the Head Medic asked what trauma if any had precipitatated the heart attack. 4 minutes ago - 3 days left to answer. Additional Details 44 seconds ago "I don't know," sobbed the wife. "all he did was read a postcard, I didn't even understand what it said: Spaghetti, spaghetti,spaghetti,spaghetti. two with meatballs, two without
