I'm an ordinary person who likes the following things: writing, helping people, movies, reading, jogging, animals and teaching.
I don't like: stress, confusion, people who do not drag their weight and laziness.
My good qualities (I think) are patience, open-mindedness and the ability to write and speak in public with ease.
My weaknesses (I'm always working on these!) are the tendency to take on too much, from time to time; the tendency to not get enough sleep and my eating habits could be a lot better than they are now.
I will try to answer questions in an honest, open way, involving what I think is common sense. If I don't think I can answer a question well, I will skip over it.
Go ahead....try me! Ask me a question!

Okay So I am in high school, and I am thinking about the whole " what I want to be when I grow up" thing. Only I dont have a clue. And you can say that you have plenty of time to do it, don't worry about it now. But you have to worry about it now, because in High school you have to take classes accordingly. So are there any good websites that let you explore different carreer options? Like Nursing, to Teaching. Or working out doors what kind of jobs are there? (link)

This is a very good website. It tells you everything you want to know about different careers, including:
*the training and education needed
*earnings
*expected job prospects
*what workers do on the job
*working conditions
It is a Dept. of Labor website, so the information is current and very helpful.

Good luck!

Do you know where I can find a ten minute script for two women to perform at a forensics competition? (link)

Try a cutting from a famous play that has two women as major characters, such as a scene from "The Glass Menagerie" between the mother and daughter. Another good one is the one-act play, "Riders to the Sea." Look for fantastic passages between the mother, Maurya and her daughter, Nora.

I am doing a really complex study for a class I am taking. I chose happiness as my topic it is something I've always wanted to study, and I would like to hear some opinions here. I need to see as many views as possible as this is all for research. I VERY much appreciate anyone taking the time to respond.
Here are the questions:
1. Are you happy?
2. What do you think would make you a happy person?
3. Do you believe money brings happiness?
4. What do you believe makes people happy/unhappy?
5. Any other interesting theories about happiness you'd like to share?
Even if you have a completely twisted view on this it would be very helpful to hear it, and this will all stay anonymous of course. THANK YOU! (link)

1. Yes
2. I am already happy.
3. While I think that people who are struggling by not having enough money to get by and this may be affecting their happiness, at the same time, I don't feel that for people who do have enough to live that MORE money will necessarily make them happier.
4. I think the propensity to be happy may be inherited. I have seen happy families and then I have seen families where all seem to struggle to be happy. Besides that, I think doing something that you like....either a job you like or a volunteer job or hobby that you like contributes to happiness.
5. I think that some people "choose" to be happy and some just choose to be unhappy on a day-to-day basis.

Guess what? I am stuck for an idea for an article for our school newspaper. I volunteered thinking it would be easy but I can't think of a thing to write about in our school paper.
Does anyone here write for their school paper? Did you in the past? Any ideas for me?
Please and thank you! (link)

How about starting a regular appearing article in which you answer questions about your school? Something like "Ask the Eagle." Of course you could substitute the name of your mascot for "eagle." You could advertise it on some posters or closed circuit TV in your school. No one even has to know you are answering the questions. You could have them ask questions through email or by dropping a question in a box in the office or something. Make sure question askers know that the questions have to be about your school itself, not personal questions about students or staff.
If this doesn't appeal to you.....what about a different kind of Ask/Answer column? Just a thought.

Hi, I'm a freshman in highschool now (15/f). I'm in honors classes and do a sport each season. But I want to become more involved in the school the community. Any ideas on what I can do or where I should go to start? (link)

To get more involved in your school, check out the list of clubs and organizations you can join. There is usually something for everyone, from chess club to service organizations. As far as your community, I think it would be great to explore some opportunities for you to "give back" and volunteer! Some city governments have "volunteer services" offices, where a list is kept of volunteer opportunities in the city. If your city doesn't do that, I would start at the public library. Tell the librarian that you are looking for volunteer opportunities in your community. You might even volunteer at the library itself, if that is what you like. Or the hospital. Or a nursing home. Or your city recreation center (maybe working with children). I hope this helps and good luck!
