Things I Wish I Had Known at the Start of High School
Take my advice! 6. The friends you have now, most likely won’t stay long. It happens to everyone. You may come into high school with a big crowd of friends who you think are gonna stick by your side no matter what. But somehow, something has to start it. Maybe one of your friends started dating your ex. Or you make plans to hang out with certain friends and not other friends. Even college could rip you guys apart. Just know that you may have one or two by your senior year. Not everyone is gonna stay.
Casey NicolePublished 7 years ago in EducationThe General Rules for Claiming a Child on Your Tax Return
Claiming a child on your tax return can yield quite a few benefits for the taxpayer, and some of these can be significant. Taxpayers will be able to claim the personal exemption for the child, the child tax credit, and the child and dependent care tax credit. For unmarried taxpayers, claiming a child will qualify them for the Head of Household filing status. Taxpayers may also be eligible to claim the earned income credit if their income falls below a certain amount.

My first term as a teaching assistant in a Special Educational Needs school has been an adventure, to say the least. I began my journey in September, walking into an environment I had never encountered before. The busy corridors, noisy children and stacks of documents to read through.

Once again you find yourself looking to write. It's the one time of the day that you really get to let it all out. Furiously, you look back at the pages of old writings and realize you are all out of ideas. For hours, you consider topics that you truly do not care about.

Daylon GranilloPublished 7 years ago in JournalFive Tips for Student Productivity
Studying can be hard at the best of times. Usually, if you're looking for study tips, you hear the same things regurgitated over and over again; make a study guide, take breaks every forty-five minutes, eat healthily, and the sorts. Whilst that all seems well and good, it's not always great for everyone. Sure, there might be some research behind it to say how long your brain can stay focused, or some piece about how organising your time helps you to balance your life, but realistically it's not always going to work.
Liam BadgerPublished 7 years ago in EducationFirst Year: My LA Retrospective — Part 1
Howdy y'all. Today, I'd like to divulge into a topic that is always pecking at a brain. I mean 24/7, you're about to lose hours of sleep type of thinking. Even as I’m typing, I’m finding myself rifling through moments upon moments of glee, moments of despair and ample amounts of everything in between. So, to keep these at reasonable lengths, I’ll probably be shaping the story into multiple parts. But without further a due, let’s talk about my first experience trying to “break” into LA and Hollywood.
Matthew SnyderPublished 7 years ago in JournalStudying
As a student, I try to perfect as many forms of studying and revising as possible to ensure I do my best in all my exams and controlled assessments. I've tried so many ways of studying, some of which have worked, others which haven't. Not everyone studies the same, so how I study may not be the way that you study. However, I'm going to share my study tips and skills, and you never know, you may discover a fantastic new way of studying.
My Time in the Pennsylvania DHS as Part of the TCP
Over the summer, my mother insisted that I get a job, and she suggested a ride operator at an amusement park, so I applied and I got it. Not too long after that, she suggested that I get a job in the Pennsylvania Temporary Clerical Pool because it paid more than the other one. I politely declined, saying that I already had a job. However, my mother is the kind of person that, when she suggests that I do something, won't stop suggesting it until I actually do it. So, I applied, took the typing exam, and got in. (For the record, when this happened, she said I could quit my first job, but I hadn't even started yet, so why would I quit without at least trying it first?)
