While I figure out what I want to do, COA is close to home and much cheaper than going to a four-year school. I will have to start out and take the same classes no matter where I go, so why not do it close to home and save money in the process? I plan to go to College of the Albemarle for two years and then transfer to a four-year college and continue…

A job can give a feeling of achievement and pride and enormously affect our general life fulfillment, or it can fill in as a wellspring of frustration and disappointment. Finding the correct job or just recognizing what it may be, is difficult, even for people who are greatly skilled. Doing as such is lmuch…

A young woman must have fifty-six completed value experiences and eight, 10-hours or more, value projects. When I was President, I also…

I almost didn’t graduate high school in fact; I had a 1.8 GPA with a 24 ACT. I knew I wouldn’t be accepted by a four-year college so I was forced to either not go to college, go to a community college, or go to trade school. I…
