After accepting a position as an RA (resident advisor) I have learned a few things about humanity. PEOPLE SUCK! The job requires that you keep residents safe and the building under control. This means; busting underage drinking, keeping the volume at a reasonable level, making sure trash goes down to the trash room, putting in requests for broken things, calling campus safety, the list is pretty long.
How to Choose a Private School for Your Child
I like to think of myself as a very unique person when it comes to my schooling. I'm a veteran of almost every type of school system the United States offers.

Sparknotes can also come in handy for students writing book reports and or essays on any topic within the book.
