am i an over-achiever? are colleges going to turn me down because of this?
am i an over-achiever? are colleges going to turn me down because of this?
I'm 18 & am a senior in high school. I have been doing the same activities for years. Recently, my best friend told me that I'm an over-achiever. My guidance counselor suggested that I take it easy because colleges are looking for "more average people" these days. I always have my schedule filled. 8 classes a day. All classes have been either honors or college classes. this year's classes & activities: 4:00 am wake up 4:30 barn work 5:30 shower 6:00 make breakfast for family 6:30 get ready 7:45 leave for school 8:00 school starts 1st period, SUPA Spanish (class through syracuse university for advanced spanish, 4 credit hours) 2nd period, College English (through onondaga community college, 4 credit hours) 3rd period AP Biology 4th period Physics 5th period Calculus (through OCC, 4 credit hours) 6th period Lunch 7th period AP psychology 8th period AP government/economics School ends at 2:30 Monday: key club Tuesday: Yearbook Wednesday: Classic rock club Thursday: Big Sister program Friday: Student Council Activities last until 3:15 3:30 arrive home and clean stalls 4:30 eat and drive to work 5:00 work 10:00 get home and do homework 12:00 am go to bed yes i know that i don't get enough sleep. and i do homework during lunch rather than eat. I know this is unhealthy. this has been my lifestyle since 7th grade. Sometimes I have some serious trouble sleeping so I just go to the gym for an hour. My dad owns the farm that i help out on. He does most of the work during the day. I just take care of 10 out of the 50 horses here. I get decent money from this and work (about $1500/month). I work at a recording studio for my dad's friend so I do have time to do homework there, also. I'm also a volunteer firefighter and go to calls over the weekends and while not at work. I have maintained a 3.5 GPA with this same schedule for the past 3 years. I have received either 4s or 5s on my AP exams and 95%+ on regents exams. I also teach horseback riding lessons on the weekends, and work other people's horses for them Are colleges going to think that i'm overdoing it? Is college going to be this hectic with the work load? I'm planning on going to either SU, LeMoyne, or UTEP (in el paso, texas) to become a US History teacher. if i stay in the area, farm work will continue. I forgot to mention my ACT and SAT scores ACT 32 SAT 2190 are these decent? I didn't pay attention to what my highest could have been

I don't think they'd reject you because you do a lot of activities, since this shows an ability to balance school and study/homework time with out-of-school priorities, which is something that is definitely necessary to know how to do in college.
2 :
Girl be yourself...<<colleges are looking for "more average people" these days.>> Foolishness...It's easy to get average people. Colleges are competetive. Keep up the good work but don't stress yourself.
3 :
Wow, I thought I was crazy.... I think it's awesome that you do so much. Maybe slow down a little for health reasons... I don't think you need to worry about colleges turning you down because you're too great. They want great people, don't they?
4 :
you can never do to much for colleges. You really do need to get more sleep though, you won't be able to comtinue like this. Unfortunately, the duties you do for your family are things colleges typically don't care too much about. They won't ask for your daily schedule, they only care about what you're involved in and your grades. Your job will count because its official and it just shows that you can manage a lot of things at once. Good luck!
5 :
If you take on a full load in college you will not be able to maintain even half of this and still maintain a GPA worth the effort. High school homework is usually small potatoes compared to what you will be doing in college. Plan on several hours per class per week, the reading alone will take up most of your time. Colleges want to know you will be figuring in enough time to get your workload complete. And yes colleges are not looking for overachievers, but rather someone who is well rounded and understand the concept of how to relax and have some fun.

Goodness, no, colleges are not EVER going to say, "We don't like you because you're an overachiever." If you can balance all of that, more power to you! Also, all of that will really make you stand out on all sorts of applications, not just for admittance but also for scholarships and such. It looks like you're going to have a busy year, though... like, I couldn't function on that little sleep. So you might at least consider taking it a little easier, maybe not working as much or something. That's your judgment to make. If you've been handling it for this long, it might just work for you. College is not as hectic! You get to plan your classes how you want them, and they never take as much time of the day, leaving more time to work and get involved in organizations. However, it's even more important not to get behind in college than it ever was in high school, so you might need to set aside more time in college specifically for studying and homework.

i am a UTEP grad, it would be an awesome choice for you! Also, the population there is very "average" so you would definitely stand out in a good way. Most colleges want people that are well rounded, and it seems you already are. Also, there are probably scholarships that you could apply to that most people wouldn't be able to because of your activities. Keep up the excellent work, stay busy during college so you will have a resume when you graduate. kudos to you and consider being a UTEP miner!

Dude chill, I thought i was doing alot by going to school, having a girlfriend, working on weekends, and playing football and running track..... But oviously you have whole lot more. College will be easy for you. So just chill out with all that stuff and try to get some sleep in your classes(if you can) And eat a good lunch.

If your counselor told you colleges are looking for average people, report her to the school board because she is wrecking young lives. It sounds like you're a hard worker, you can probably get into better colleges than the ones you list.

Fired from corrections deputy job 3 yrs ago. Any chance of getting another job in the field?
Fired from corrections deputy job 3 yrs ago. Any chance of getting another job in the field?
Three years ago I was fired from my corrections officer job for being late three times during my probationary period. I worked a lot of overtime on a voluntary basis with the goal of learning about every post at the justice center. It would go over the radio and I would snatch it up. This contributed to my being late. I do take responsibility for being late. I was on for just one month after graduating from the academy. I was very enthusiastic about this job and had many goals set. This was truly a personal tragedy for me. Sob story aside, I have since held another non law enforcement job and I am currently attending college majoring in criminal justice. The sheriffs office I worked for in Cincinnati,Ohio has quite an influence in the area so getting a job there is basically a no go. I currently reside in El Paso,Texas. I have absolutely no criminal record aside from a couple of speeding tickets from high school. I am 28 now. I have been reluctant to apply for another LE job due to being fired from this one. I am wondering if this single incident has destroyed any chance of getting back in the game. Law enforcement and public safety is a true calling for me. If anybody has any insight to share I am all ears. Thanks Brandon

That was three years ago. It will not keep you from getting hired. It will be a hurdle but you can get hired. Apply and get into the hiring process, when asked about your separation from the other agency be honest about what happened. Tell the new agency that it was three years ago and you have learned from that experience. Point out that you have held down other jobs and that you are willing to do whatever it takes to succeed this time around. Be positive.
2 :
I don't have any personal experience in this area, but in my opinion, the reason you were fired is very minor. It's not like you were fired for abusing inmates, stealing, dealing drugs, etc. You were younger then, and I think with your new schooling, you've a good chance of landing a job in law enforcement.

You spell like that and you're on the Honor Roll? How about those Texans, huh? You might be suspended from play, class or some other school activity you enjoy and you'll likely do some community service. That's criminal portion of consequences. The school/school board/district may also want to sue your parents in tort. Depends on your record and whether they might want to make an example of you. Start practising a hang-dog look of extreme contrition. Say sorry a LOT and let loose the tears, you scurrilous young villain. Next time you think it would be fun to destroy something you haven't paid a cent for, open a Latin text and do 15 pages of translation of Homer's Odyssey. Whatever happens, take your punishment like a man - a very penitent man.

It all depends upon your career field. Not every job is available at every base. And, it all comes down to where the AF needs you, not where you want to be. After basic, you'll go to Tech School. At somepoint during tech school they will let you know what bases are available for you. You then list the bases in order. All of the sheets go in, and they pick and choose where you get to go. It may be a base in Texas or it may be in Washington state or it may be in Germany. You have no control over that. Just FYI, there is no base in El Paso. West Texas you have Dyess (Abilene), Laughlin (Del Rio), and Goodfellow (San Angelo)
2 :
there are no Air Force bases in El Paso Texas. and no you can't pick the base you want to be at. you can request a certain base and maybe get it if you are needed there because of your job. if you wan to be in El Paso then join the army. they have a base there.
3 :
Nope, now adays, when you go in since EVERYONE is doing it, chances are no, you will not get stationed in Texas, btw, no base is El Paso. You will be stationed probably anywhere but texas :) thats just how it works. But you get great pay, health benefits, and great retirement. Check out this link, it is what the Air Force is about. Look at the base locator too. You can see just how many air force bases are scattered around the united states and european countries. www.airforce.com As for waiting for a house, depends on where you are and how lucky you are. Like I said, married couples have it easy, married couples who are both in the AF even luckier. single men and women, will most likely live on base. BUT if you are lucky you will live off base (AFTER BASIC AND TECH SCHOOL) and you will be given a houing allowance so that you can pay for your apartment, ect.

Hey i hope someone could help me with issue!

WHAT SHOULD I DO? stay with my mommy or go back my school, friends, grandparents, and my boyfriend! hey i am 15 years old! and thank everyone for helping me out! Its nice to know diffrent advise! Thanks!

first if you really love your mom and you really can't spend a day without her.. then go to your mom's house... but if you can't handle being without your friends... inspite of your mom... you can ask your mom NICELY that you should go back to mexico... so that you'll be happy together with everyone and not only woth your mom but with everyone...
2 :
i think u should stay with your mom because u will eventually make some friends and sooner or later start a relationship......u cant really judge a place over the summer u have to give it time....staying with your mom would be the right and best thing to do....u could visit your friends..boyfriend...and grandparents every now and then!
3 :
you are comfortable where you are, and change is a big thing new friends new schools, but you should look at it as a challange, as for your mum, you have a great relationship with her, and no matter whatever happens she will always be there for you...but remember it is a sad life without a mum..... you can have all the relatives and friends around you, but you will always miss your mum.... give it a try and if after 6months you still feel the same then go back.....
4 :
Grandparents are great I'd stay because your mom has made a choice and I don't think you should have to mess up your life to follow. Do what's right for you.
5 :
You really need to sit and decide what it is that you want. If you are almost done with school then just tough it out until you graduate and then go with your mom because it wont be easy to get use to a new state, new town, and new high school. Dont start all over if you are almosot done with high school. TOUGH IT OUT!!!!
6 :
Maybe you could live with your mother and go back to your grand-parents for your school holidays?
7 :
i dont no how old you are but if you dont like it there you should probably stay i no this would hurt your mum but you have school holidays long weekends to go there and spend time with her, if your not to young then you will be moving out of home soon, an if u go you will b in a place were your not happy doin that, taLK to your mum and she will understand whatever you choose and be happy with that shes your mum
8 :
Well, I can only say, follow your heart, I my self would stay with my mother, as i see life isnt so long, its very short, but its best if you follow what you think is best,, oh dont think just because your mexican that if you move they wouldnt get along with you, or be your friend, in fact i know many mexicans in my area and we all get along fine,, if fact many are very hard working people. So dont worrie about the race thing, i know, i dont, and im sicilian, its hard for me to find them in my area, but i get along with everyone.. i wish you luck....
9 :
that is a hard Q but i'd have to say go with your mom because she'll always be there for you and after time you'll fit in and probly love living there and if you don't you can always go back right?
10 :
I think that you should stay b/c of school, stay with your grandparents, given the fact that you are still in school & got most of your life in El Paso, but then again you want to be with your mom? so it's confusing & a hard decision but your education is more important. Moving around while still in school is hard b/c you have to transfer. You said you've already experienced Alexandria & did not like it. So, there's your answer right there. See to it that you stay & complete High School (tell your mom that) then after you graduate you will decide then if you want to live with her while you go to college. You can always keep in touch with you mom while she's gone, phone her, email her or visit her during the holidays, vice versa.
11 :
i'm from College Station,Texas. Are there any reletives that could take you in? Or could you stay with a real good trusting family? Sit down and have a heart to heart,mother to daughter talk and tell your mommy haow you feel. It could'nt hurt to try.
12 :
You have to decide whats more important. I would go with my mom because there is always things like myspace or just calling up my freinds to stay in touch. Maybe you havent made freinds because its summer, I know that I usually dont make new freinds untill I start school.

first if you really love your mom and you really can't spend a day without her.. then go to your mom's house... but if you can't handle being without your friends... inspite of your mom... you can ask your mom NICELY that you should go back to mexico... so that you'll be happy together with everyone and not only woth your mom but with everyone...
2 :
i think u should stay with your mom because u will eventually make some friends and sooner or later start a relationship......u cant really judge a place over the summer u have to give it time....staying with your mom would be the right and best thing to do....u could visit your friends..boyfriend...and grandparents every now and then!
3 :
you are comfortable where you are, and change is a big thing new friends new schools, but you should look at it as a challange, as for your mum, you have a great relationship with her, and no matter whatever happens she will always be there for you...but remember it is a sad life without a mum..... you can have all the relatives and friends around you, but you will always miss your mum.... give it a try and if after 6months you still feel the same then go back.....
4 :
Grandparents are great I'd stay because your mom has made a choice and I don't think you should have to mess up your life to follow. Do what's right for you.
5 :
You really need to sit and decide what it is that you want. If you are almost done with school then just tough it out until you graduate and then go with your mom because it wont be easy to get use to a new state, new town, and new high school. Dont start all over if you are almosot done with high school. TOUGH IT OUT!!!!
6 :
Maybe you could live with your mother and go back to your grand-parents for your school holidays?
7 :
i dont no how old you are but if you dont like it there you should probably stay i no this would hurt your mum but you have school holidays long weekends to go there and spend time with her, if your not to young then you will be moving out of home soon, an if u go you will b in a place were your not happy doin that, taLK to your mum and she will understand whatever you choose and be happy with that shes your mum
8 :
Well, I can only say, follow your heart, I my self would stay with my mother, as i see life isnt so long, its very short, but its best if you follow what you think is best,, oh dont think just because your mexican that if you move they wouldnt get along with you, or be your friend, in fact i know many mexicans in my area and we all get along fine,, if fact many are very hard working people. So dont worrie about the race thing, i know, i dont, and im sicilian, its hard for me to find them in my area, but i get along with everyone.. i wish you luck....
9 :
that is a hard Q but i'd have to say go with your mom because she'll always be there for you and after time you'll fit in and probly love living there and if you don't you can always go back right?
10 :
I think that you should stay b/c of school, stay with your grandparents, given the fact that you are still in school & got most of your life in El Paso, but then again you want to be with your mom? so it's confusing & a hard decision but your education is more important. Moving around while still in school is hard b/c you have to transfer. You said you've already experienced Alexandria & did not like it. So, there's your answer right there. See to it that you stay & complete High School (tell your mom that) then after you graduate you will decide then if you want to live with her while you go to college. You can always keep in touch with you mom while she's gone, phone her, email her or visit her during the holidays, vice versa.
11 :
i'm from College Station,Texas. Are there any reletives that could take you in? Or could you stay with a real good trusting family? Sit down and have a heart to heart,mother to daughter talk and tell your mommy haow you feel. It could'nt hurt to try.
12 :
You have to decide whats more important. I would go with my mom because there is always things like myspace or just calling up my freinds to stay in touch. Maybe you havent made freinds because its summer, I know that I usually dont make new freinds untill I start school.

I know its my decision overall, but should I stay or go...? LONG!?
Ok, first of all im 19, about to be 20. I am having a really really hard time deciding where to live in January. Dallas, Texas (( choice number one)) -I have a great full time job that pays great - I have no friends here, nor do I look forward to going out and meeting people being the fact that IM ALONE :( - I live with my mom, thank god I at least have her, but she is soon to move to Austin which means ill have to get my own place - Hate the rain here :( - and im not going to school beacause im so tired working 40 plus hours a week El Paso, Texas ((choice number two)) -my hometown - family and friends since kinder live here, well most at least - my reason to move back here would be my family and go to school again - the con is is has much lower pay rate then Dallas. I have a guranteed job where I use to work....being a waitress at a sports bar //: or a possible transfer with my current job but it would be part time -I would live with my best friend and it would be tight both going to school but we would make it I just dont know which outweighs the other when both have pros and cons Someone help..... :)

My recommendation is choice number 2. For your age, and your current circumstances, this seems like the best option. First, you will have friends and family there, and a support system is a very important thing to have. Next, you will have employment, even if the rate of pay will be slightly lower. Lastly, you will have the opportunity to go back to school. This last one is key to your overall success in life, and something that is best done while you have the time and the energy to do it. I think your future sounds exciting! Best of luck.
2 :
I would choose El Paso and being with my friends and family and getting an education over a full time job in Dallas in a heartbeat. Once you finish school you will be able to get another full time job, but it sounds to me like you'll be happier because you'll be around the people who love you.

Yes, she sounds spoiled and yes you sound less than assertive. If you want to make it work.... try not being so available. Yes, I know you want to be together, but if she gets home from work and does not want to do anything say "alright then, I'm gonna go check out the museum (or whatever)" snatch up your jacket and head out.

You're not an idiot you're just in love. Maybe you didn't realistically think about how well you two would be in the long run when weighing in her homebody nature and her busy work schedule. You should try to express your concerns and try to get her to compromise. You could ask her to just visit your church at least once to see if she likes it. However, if she isn't willing to help improve the relationship you may need to move on for your own happiness. Compatibility is very important. Good luck

"Idiot" is a bit harsh. You just made a mistake. Some of the best advice I ever received from a teacher was to never move in with someone before engagement/marriage because if it doesn't work out, you feel stuck and unable to get out of a convienent relationship. It's obvious that it's not working out, so the best course of action would either be to break-up, move out, and get your own life for awhile. Or you can try to work it out by giving her an ultimatum: either she compromises more in order to save your relationship or it's over. It sounds like you have some serious issues to work out, but if you were willing to leave behind your home for her once, she might still be worth it.

am i an over-achiever? are colleges going to turn me down because of this?
am i an over-achiever? are colleges going to turn me down because of this?
I'm 18 & am a senior in high school. I have been doing the same activities for years. Recently, my best friend told me that I'm an over-achiever. My guidance counselor suggested that I take it easy because colleges are looking for "more average people" these days. I always have my schedule filled. 8 classes a day. All classes have been either honors or college classes. this year's classes & activities: 4:00 am wake up 4:30 barn work 5:30 shower 6:00 make breakfast for family 6:30 get ready 7:45 leave for school 8:00 school starts 1st period, SUPA Spanish (class through syracuse university for advanced spanish, 4 credit hours) 2nd period, College English (through onondaga community college, 4 credit hours) 3rd period AP Biology 4th period Physics 5th period Calculus (through OCC, 4 credit hours) 6th period Lunch 7th period AP psychology 8th period AP government/economics School ends at 2:30 Monday: key club Tuesday: Yearbook Wednesday: Classic rock club Thursday: Big Sister program Friday: Student Council Activities last until 3:15 3:30 arrive home and clean stalls 4:30 eat and drive to work 5:00 work 10:00 get home and do homework 12:00 am go to bed yes i know that i don't get enough sleep. and i do homework during lunch rather than eat. I know this is unhealthy. this has been my lifestyle since 7th grade. Sometimes I have some serious trouble sleeping so I just go to the gym for an hour. My dad owns the farm that i help out on. He does most of the work during the day. I just take care of 10 out of the 50 horses here. I get decent money from this and work (about $1500/month). I work at a recording studio for my dad's friend so I do have time to do homework there, also. I'm also a volunteer firefighter and go to calls over the weekends and while not at work. I have maintained a 3.5 GPA with this same schedule for the past 3 years. I have received either 4s or 5s on my AP exams and 95%+ on regents exams. I also teach horseback riding lessons on the weekends, and work other people's horses for them Are colleges going to think that i'm overdoing it? Is college going to be this hectic with the work load? I'm planning on going to either SU, LeMoyne, or UTEP (in el paso, texas) to become a US History teacher. if i stay in the area, farm work will continue. I forgot to mention my ACT and SAT scores ACT 32 SAT 2190 are these decent? I didn't pay attention to what my highest could have been

you can never do to much for colleges. You really do need to get more sleep though, you won't be able to comtinue like this. Unfortunately, the duties you do for your family are things colleges typically don't care too much about. They won't ask for your daily schedule, they only care about what you're involved in and your grades. Your job will count because its official and it just shows that you can manage a lot of things at once. Good luck!
5 :
If you take on a full load in college you will not be able to maintain even half of this and still maintain a GPA worth the effort. High school homework is usually small potatoes compared to what you will be doing in college. Plan on several hours per class per week, the reading alone will take up most of your time. Colleges want to know you will be figuring in enough time to get your workload complete. And yes colleges are not looking for overachievers, but rather someone who is well rounded and understand the concept of how to relax and have some fun.
6 :
Goodness, no, colleges are not EVER going to say, "We don't like you because you're an overachiever." If you can balance all of that, more power to you! Also, all of that will really make you stand out on all sorts of applications, not just for admittance but also for scholarships and such. It looks like you're going to have a busy year, though... like, I couldn't function on that little sleep. So you might at least consider taking it a little easier, maybe not working as much or something. That's your judgment to make. If you've been handling it for this long, it might just work for you. College is not as hectic! You get to plan your classes how you want them, and they never take as much time of the day, leaving more time to work and get involved in organizations. However, it's even more important not to get behind in college than it ever was in high school, so you might need to set aside more time in college specifically for studying and homework.

i am a UTEP grad, it would be an awesome choice for you! Also, the population there is very "average" so you would definitely stand out in a good way. Most colleges want people that are well rounded, and it seems you already are. Also, there are probably scholarships that you could apply to that most people wouldn't be able to because of your activities. Keep up the excellent work, stay busy during college so you will have a resume when you graduate. kudos to you and consider being a UTEP miner!

Dude chill, I thought i was doing alot by going to school, having a girlfriend, working on weekends, and playing football and running track..... But oviously you have whole lot more.

i am a UTEP grad, it would be an awesome choice for you! Also, the population there is very "average" so you would definitely stand out in a good way. Most colleges want people that are well rounded, and it seems you already are. Also, there are probably scholarships that you could apply to that most people wouldn't be able to because of your activities. Keep up the excellent work, stay busy during college so you will have a resume when you graduate. kudos to you and consider being a UTEP miner!
8 :
Dude chill, I thought i was doing alot by going to school, having a girlfriend, working on weekends, and playing football and running track..... But oviously you have whole lot more. College will be easy for you. So just chill out with all that stuff and try to get some sleep in your classes(if you can) And eat a good lunch.
9 :
If your counselor told you colleges are looking for average people, report her to the school board because she is wrecking young lives. It sounds like you're a hard worker, you can probably get into better colleges than the ones you list.

Fired from corrections deputy job 3 yrs ago. Any chance of getting another job in the field?
Fired from corrections deputy job 3 yrs ago. Any chance of getting another job in the field?
Three years ago I was fired from my corrections officer job for being late three times during my probationary period. I worked a lot of overtime on a voluntary basis with the goal of learning about every post at the justice center. It would go over the radio and I would snatch it up. This contributed to my being late. I do take responsibility for being late. I was on for just one month after graduating from the academy. I was very enthusiastic about this job and had many goals set. This was truly a personal tragedy for me. Sob story aside, I have since held another non law enforcement job and I am currently attending college majoring in criminal justice. The sheriffs office I worked for in Cincinnati,Ohio has quite an influence in the area so getting a job there is basically a no go. I currently reside in El Paso,Texas. I have absolutely no criminal record aside from a couple of speeding tickets from high school. I am 28 now. I have been reluctant to apply for another LE job due to being fired from this one. I am wondering if this single incident has destroyed any chance of getting back in the game. Law enforcement and public safety is a true calling for me. If anybody has any insight to share I am all ears. Thanks Brandon

That was three years ago. It will not keep you from getting hired. It will be a hurdle but you can get hired. Apply and get into the hiring process, when asked about your separation from the other agency be honest about what happened. Tell the new agency that it was three years ago and you have learned from that experience. Point out that you have held down other jobs and that you are willing to do whatever it takes to succeed this time around. Be positive.

I don't have any personal experience in this area, but in my opinion, the reason you were fired is very minor. It's not like you were fired for abusing inmates, stealing, dealing drugs, etc. You were younger then, and I think with your new schooling, you've a good chance of landing a job in law enforcement.

You spell like that and you're on the Honor Roll? How about those Texans, huh? You might be suspended from play, class or some other school activity you enjoy and you'll likely do some community service. That's criminal portion of consequences. The school/school board/district may also want to sue your parents in tort. Depends on your record and whether they might want to make an example of you. Start practising a hang-dog look of extreme contrition. Say sorry a LOT and let loose the tears, you scurrilous young villain. Next time you think it would be fun to destroy something you haven't paid a cent for, open a Latin text and do 15 pages of translation of Homer's Odyssey. Whatever happens, take your punishment like a man - a very penitent man.

It all depends upon your career field. Not every job is available at every base. And, it all comes down to where the AF needs you, not where you want to be. After basic, you'll go to Tech School. At somepoint during tech school they will let you know what bases are available for you. You then list the bases in order. All of the sheets go in, and they pick and choose where you get to go. It may be a base in Texas or it may be in Washington state or it may be in Germany. You have no control over that. Just FYI, there is no base in El Paso. West Texas you have Dyess (Abilene), Laughlin (Del Rio), and Goodfellow (San Angelo)
2 :
there are no Air Force bases in El Paso Texas. and no you can't pick the base you want to be at. you can request a certain base and maybe get it if you are needed there because of your job. if you wan to be in El Paso then join the army. they have a base there.
3 :
Nope, now adays, when you go in since EVERYONE is doing it, chances are no, you will not get stationed in Texas, btw, no base is El Paso. You will be stationed probably anywhere but texas :) thats just how it works. But you get great pay, health benefits, and great retirement. Check out this link, it is what the Air Force is about. Look at the base locator too. You can see just how many air force bases are scattered around the united states and european countries. www.airforce.com As for waiting for a house, depends on where you are and how lucky you are. Like I said, married couples have it easy, married couples who are both in the AF even luckier. single men and women, will most likely live on base. BUT if you are lucky you will live off base (AFTER BASIC AND TECH SCHOOL) and you will be given a houing allowance so that you can pay for your apartment, ect.

first if you really love your mom and you really can't spend a day without her.. then go to your mom's house... but if you can't handle being without your friends... inspite of your mom... you can ask your mom NICELY that you should go back to mexico... so that you'll be happy together with everyone and not only woth your mom but with everyone...
2 :
i think u should stay with your mom because u will eventually make some friends and sooner or later start a relationship......u cant really judge a place over the summer u have to give it time....staying with your mom would be the right and best thing to do....u could visit your friends..boyfriend...and grandparents every now and then!
3 :
you are comfortable where you are, and change is a big thing new friends new schools, but you should look at it as a challange, as for your mum, you have a great relationship with her, and no matter whatever happens she will always be there for you...but remember it is a sad life without a mum..... you can have all the relatives and friends around you, but you will always miss your mum.... give it a try and if after 6months you still feel the same then go back.....
4 :
Grandparents are great I'd stay because your mom has made a choice and I don't think you should have to mess up your life to follow. Do what's right for you.
5 :
You really need to sit and decide what it is that you want. If you are almost done with school then just tough it out until you graduate and then go with your mom because it wont be easy to get use to a new state, new town, and new high school. Dont start all over if you are almosot done with high school. TOUGH IT OUT!!!!
6 :
Maybe you could live with your mother and go back to your grand-parents for your school holidays?
7 :
i dont no how old you are but if you dont like it there you should probably stay i no this would hurt your mum but you have school holidays long weekends to go there and spend time with her, if your not to young then you will be moving out of home soon, an if u go you will b in a place were your not happy doin that, taLK to your mum and she will understand whatever you choose and be happy with that shes your mum
8 :
Well, I can only say, follow your heart, I my self would stay with my mother, as i see life isnt so long, its very short, but its best if you follow what you think is best,, oh dont think just because your mexican that if you move they wouldnt get along with you, or be your friend, in fact i know many mexicans in my area and we all get along fine,, if fact many are very hard working people. So dont worrie about the race thing, i know, i dont, and im sicilian, its hard for me to find them in my area, but i get along with everyone.. i wish you luck....
9 :
that is a hard Q but i'd have to say go with your mom because she'll always be there for you and after time you'll fit in and probly love living there and if you don't you can always go back right?
10 :
I think that you should stay b/c of school, stay with your grandparents, given the fact that you are still in school & got most of your life in El Paso, but then again you want to be with your mom? so it's confusing & a hard decision but your education is more important. Moving around while still in school is hard b/c you have to transfer. You said you've already experienced Alexandria & did not like it. So, there's your answer right there. See to it that you stay & complete High School (tell your mom that) then after you graduate you will decide then if you want to live with her while you go to college. You can always keep in touch with you mom while she's gone, phone her, email her or visit her during the holidays, vice versa.

i'm from College Station,Texas. Are there any reletives that could take you in? Or could you stay with a real good trusting family? Sit down and have a heart to heart,mother to daughter talk and tell your mommy haow you feel. It could'nt hurt to try.

You have to decide whats more important. I would go with my mom because there is always things like myspace or just calling up my freinds to stay in touch. Maybe you havent made freinds because its summer, I know that I usually dont make new freinds untill I start school.

I know its my decision overall, but should I stay or go...? LONG!?
Ok, first of all im 19, about to be 20. I am having a really really hard time deciding where to live in January. Dallas, Texas (( choice number one)) -I have a great full time job that pays great - I have no friends here, nor do I look forward to going out and meeting people being the fact that IM ALONE :( - I live with my mom, thank god I at least have her, but she is soon to move to Austin which means ill have to get my own place - Hate the rain here :( - and im not going to school beacause im so tired working 40 plus hours a week El Paso, Texas ((choice number two)) -my hometown - family and friends since kinder live here, well most at least - my reason to move back here would be my family and go to school again - the con is is has much lower pay rate then Dallas. I have a guranteed job where I use to work....being a waitress at a sports bar //: or a possible transfer with my current job but it would be part time -I would live with my best friend and it would be tight both going to school but we would make it I just dont know which outweighs the other when both have pros and cons Someone help..... :)

My recommendation is choice number 2. For your age, and your current circumstances, this seems like the best option. First, you will have friends and family there, and a support system is a very important thing to have. Next, you will have employment, even if the rate of pay will be slightly lower. Lastly, you will have the opportunity to go back to school. This last one is key to your overall success in life, and something that is best done while you have the time and the energy to do it. I think your future sounds exciting! Best of luck.
2 :
I would choose El Paso and being with my friends and family and getting an education over a full time job in Dallas in a heartbeat. Once you finish school you will be able to get another full time job, but it sounds to me like you'll be happier because you'll be around the people who love you.

I have a guranteed job where I use to work....being a waitress at a sports bar //: or a possible transfer with my current job but it would be part time -I would live with my best friend and it would be tight both going to school but we would make it I just dont know which outweighs the other when both have pros and cons Someone help..... :)

My recommendation is choice number 2. For your age, and your current circumstances, this seems like the best option. First, you will have friends and family there, and a support system is a very important thing to have. Next, you will have employment, even if the rate of pay will be slightly lower. Lastly, you will have the opportunity to go back to school. This last one is key to your overall success in life, and something that is best done while you have the time and the energy to do it. I think your future sounds exciting! Best of luck.

I would choose El Paso and being with my friends and family and getting an education over a full time job in Dallas in a heartbeat. Once you finish school you will be able to get another full time job, but it sounds to me like you'll be happier because you'll be around the people who love you.

Sounds like your partner is definitely taking you for a ride - a relationship is supposed to be a two way street, not one way (her way). If she can't give you equality in your relationship by participating in what you want to do, they why is she in a relationship?
3 :
Uhm... considering there are two sides to every story. Yes, she sounds spoiled and yes you sound less than assertive. If you want to make it work.... try not being so available. Yes, I know you want to be together, but if she gets home from work and does not want to do anything say "alright then, I'm gonna go check out the museum (or whatever)" snatch up your jacket and head out. Maybe if she has to sit around without you she'll want to participate next time. No promises, just a thought.
4 :
man get out of this relationship i think it might be to much of a culture difference to work you are being used it seems like to me. try counseling if she is not willing then make a change you are the driver of your car and are at a crossroads in your life

You are definately an idiot!

If you are asking total strangers this question, I'd say you are not happy and want others to tell you to move on. Sounds to me like you need approval. So..OK...Here it goes: Move on.

You're not an idiot you're just in love. Maybe you didn't realistically think about how well you two would be in the long run when weighing in her homebody nature and her busy work schedule. You should try to express your concerns and try to get her to compromise. You could ask her to just visit your church at least once to see if she likes it.

"Idiot" is a bit harsh. You just made a mistake. Some of the best advice I ever received from a teacher was to never move in with someone before engagement/marriage because if it doesn't work out, you feel stuck and unable to get out of a convienent relationship. It's obvious that it's not working out, so the best course of action would either be to break-up, move out, and get your own life for awhile. Or you can try to work it out by giving her an ultimatum: either she compromises more in order to save your relationship or it's over. It sounds like you have some serious issues to work out, but if you were willing to leave behind your home for her once, she might still be worth it.

I'm a Hispanic, light-complected, 18 year old high school senior (female) that will be attending Texas Tech University in the Fall of 2011. I'm originally from El Paso, Texas. Four people (including myself, my parents,and my sister) live in my household. Last year I was diagnosed with major depression and OCD. I love writing and I have a 4.0 GPA (while taking all AP classes and 1 Dual credit class in a magnet high school) Anything will help. Thanks. p.s. I've already applied for the Dr. Seuss scholarship.

What are a young father's rights in Texas?
What are a young father's rights in Texas?
My little brother is 18 and his girlfriend is 17yrs. old. He got her pregnant while living in Houston. Since the beginning of the pregnancy our family was supportive and wanted to be a part of the baby's life. The girls mom on the other hand has kept my brother and us away from the baby. During her pregnancy they moved to El Paso. My brother is on the right track and graduated school and is enrolling in college soon. He also has a job and is looking for a full time higher paying job. The girl on the other hand doesn't. She lives with her mom, who is unemployed and lives with her sister and other family members. The baby and the girl sleep in a closet. The girl is very immature and posts pics of herself half naked and admits online to doing drugs and even considered suicide while pregnant. The mom does not allow my brother to call and speak with the girl to check up on the baby and instead is constantly asking for money. My brother instead sends what the baby needs. He has asked the girl to marry him im hopes she will move back to Houston but she says she can't. My brother was allowed to see the baby when she was born but only when her mom said it was ok. My brother did attempt to move to El Paso to be closer to his daughter but was unable to secure a job, place to stay or transportation. Reluctantly moving back to Houston where he has all the support of his family. We want to know want he can do to have more rights and make sure his daughter is safe and not sleeping in a closet. Does he have a chance? The girl turns 18 in May but there is fear the girl and mom might up and leave before then. What can he do as we don't have a lot of money for legal fees and attorneys. Thanks for any help and info.

What does it take to get into Rice University?
What does it take to get into Rice University?
Hello there, I am currently a high school junior attending Coronado HIgh School in El Paso, TX (yep, a border town). The following are some of my application credentials and not intended to be pretentious. I am currently taking 5/7 International Baccalaureate (IB) courses (6/7 courses in the spring when I have to take Theory of Knowledge) and will be testing higher level in Spanish, English and History. I am deeply involved in my town's National Hispanic Institute as a senior trainer of the Cross Examination and debate team. I am a member of the National Honor Society, National Hispanic Honor Society, and National Society of HIgh School Scholars. I am a jazz trombonist and have been in the EL PASO YOUTH JAZZ ENSEMBLE playing LEAD trombone since my sophomore year. I am also a TEXAS all-state orchestral trombonist. I have made region jazz, concert band and symphony orchestra since I was a freshman. It's going to sound silly, but instead of sports I do marching band. I've also been a section leader since my sophomore year, so I have TONS of leadership experience. I am a member of my school's key club and a Denmark Ambassador for my school's Model UN team. I think the most important aspect of all of this is that i THOROUGHLY enjoy everything that I am involved in. Of course, however, the most important aspects of my life are my family, my studies and my church. Another big part of my life is my co-presidency of a great initiative in my town to educate the public on mentally disabling diseases and how they affect individuals. My GPA is fine. I rank between the TOP 4-8 percent of my high school class of almost 800. I have yet to take an official SAT, but I do remember seeing some fair PSAT scores. My course load is tremendously stressful... and since I give music lessons to many kids around my side of town, I am constantly busy. WHEN looking into colleges, one thing lead to another, and I found myself falling in love with Rice University in Houston. It has everything I need plus more. I would like to double major in music performance and hispanic studies. So I ask, WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET IN?!?!? If I audition on my trombone for the Shepherd School of Music and get accepted, does that grant me acceptance into the other schools of Rice? What SAT score should I aim for? any words of wisdom would be TREMENDOUSLY appreciated. THANK YOU.

My best friend's daughter is at Rice, and my friend said that you basically need a 2150 minimum SAT score to get in, along with outstanding grades. It sounds like your grades might be good enough, and your course rigor and extracurriculars are definitely good enough, but the SAT will matter a lot. By the way, you can't get admitted to Rice on the basis of an audition. The audition will only help if you have otherwise been accepted to Rice. They do the audition because even if you had outstanding grades and scores, it would be unfair to you to accept you into a music program if you were not musically-talented, but you still have to meet the other admissions criteria.

Aim for a very high SAT score. And, yes, getting admitted into the Shepherd School will grant you admission into the other Rice schools. Consider a career in medicine. Rice and Baylor have an early acceptance program that you could qualify for. The University of North Texas ar Denton has an excellent music program. Consider it. Although Rice would be lucky to have you on their campus.

I'm interested in practicing medicine and perhaps writing on the side. GPA= above 4.0 (#2 in my class) I'd like a small-mid-size school where I'm not just a number. Preferably not private. Dorms without community restrooms. Volleyball team. 0-5 hrs. from El Paso, TX (but others are ok) Will get me into a top-notch med-school. So far, I'm thinking Texas Tech or Arizona State.

You should search on Collegeboard.com. You can specify what you want and it'll search every accredited college and university in the country. I wanted a tiny school in a certain part of the country, and I ended up at this place that barely anyone has heard of (and it's perfect for me). It was a great resource for me, and I bet it'll help to check it out. :) Good luck!!

Given the geography, you are limited. However, also consider the University of Arizona, though I do not know about its restrooms or volleyball team. It is a more prestigious school than the two you list.

Should I switch high schools?
Should I switch high schools?
Hiya. I'm 15 and currently attending one of the best schools in Los Angeles. But lately I've been having doubts. My mom live in El Paso Texas, and I been thinking of switching. At my high school I am right now, I'm a total loser. Everyday I sit with my twin, and the only "friends" I had were forced and didn't even like us. But my sister thinks we should stay because its a good school and if we leave we will lose are place and chance of going to UCLA/ or good schools. Plus she is taking AP World and has to do some summer assignment. But we both agreed that if we moved it might be for the better. We can be with our mom (We don't really see her, and she says she might die soon :/) and we can get free braces (we need them!, it was expensive in LA) and learn spanish, and just learn things in a different perspective. But I'm scare because I'm half black and the mexican/ black tension might be a little to much.We use to go here when we were younger and we were the only black people, but if we move I can be more confident and ect. I know in LA it exist (the tension between black/mexicans). And I don't want to be the only black looking person in the class. And the girls here are a little mean (most) and I don't want to be a total loner and regret the decision of moving. PLEASE HELP.

Changing high schools might not change your social situation. That's something to think about. Maybe you can get help with learning how to make more friends? Maybe kids feel unsure about approaching you and your twin, maybe you seem closed to the outside world, even if you really don't intend to. Sometimes people have body language that sends the wrong messages. Is there someone you can speak to, like a counselor at school? If you're attending a good school, and you want to attend UCLA, you should stay. If you move, you may be a non-resident, at least for the first year (if your dad is still living in LA) and the fees are $22,000 more per year! Also, one reason the UCs are taking more non-residents is for that extra $22,000 per year X 4 years, and you won't be in that category since most non-residents stay non-residents for the full 4 years, while you may be able to become a resident after a year if your dad stays in LA. So there isn't that big financial reason to accept you as a non-resident, and residents have priority. (It's a very confusing, complicated process.) Being half-black may give you an advantage with UCLA admissions, they really need more diversity. I'm sorry your mom is ill. I wish she wouldn't say that to you in that way, though. Don't make a change based on that unless you know all the facts, we parents can be quite dramatic. (Like our teens!) Maybe you can go visit her more? Maybe it would be too stressful to live with her if she is ill, and it might be too stressful for her -- you being there and her not able to take proper care of you. If you need braces, there is help in LA to get them if your family qualifies financially. And don't be sure that you can move to another state and get free braces, because sometimes it doesn't work that way, you have to live there for a certain amount of time, etc. Good luck with your decision. Consider going to stay with your mom for a time before school starts to see if it's right for you. Also, the court may have to become involved, you may not have the choice to move, ask your parents about that. Good luck!

Has Obama had anything to say about 5th US citizen killed in Mexico this week?
Has Obama had anything to say about 5th US citizen killed in Mexico this week?
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico – A U.S. university student was killed in a shooting attack on a car, becoming the fifth American slain in this violent border city in six days, Mexican and U.S. authorities said Wednesday. Eder Diaz, a student at the University of Texas at El Paso, was killed Tuesday evening along with a classmate, the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juarez said in a statement e-mailed to The Associated Press. The consulate said it had not yet confirmed whether the other victim was also a U.S. citizen. An investigator from the state of Chihuahua, where Ciudad Juarez is located, identified the second victim as Manuel Acosta, and said he was from Chihuahua's capital of the same name. The investigator, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case, told the AP that gunmen opened fire on a car in which Diaz and Acosta were traveling. Diaz, 23, was a business major, while Acosta, 25, was a computer information-systems major, university spokesman Steve Lazarin said. Diaz was the fifth U.S. citizen to be killed in Ciudad Juarez since Friday. All of the victims were from El Paso, which is located across the border from Ciudad Juarez. Luis Carlos Araiza, 15, a student at Bowie High School in El Paso, and Joanna Herrera, 27, were fatally shot while traveling in a BMW sport utility vehicle near the Zaragoza international bridge Saturday. Mexican officials said they had criminal records but would not elaborate. Edgar Lopez, 35, was shot and killed Saturday at a residence in Ciudad Juarez, while on Friday, Lorena Izaguirre, 24, was killed at a tortilla shop. Ciudad Juarez has become one of the world's deadliest cities amid a turf war between the Sinaloa and Juarez drug cartels. More than 2,000 people have been killed this year in the city. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101104/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/lt_drug_war_mexico_americans_killed

Sun Bowl matchup: worth watching? (Notre Dame, IN vs. Miami)? Dec. 31, 2 p.m. EST?
Sun Bowl matchup: worth watching? (Notre Dame, IN vs. Miami)? Dec. 31, 2 p.m. EST?
Here's how the South Bend, INDIANA CBS affiliate has posted the bowl invitation story = Notre Dame and Miami will meet in the Sun Bowl, Dec. 31 in El Paso, Texas, selection committee chairman John H. Folmer announced Sunday afternoon. The game will be played at 2 p.m. ET at Sun Bowl Stadium and will be televised on CBS. Both teams will be making their first appearances in the Sun Bowl. “After a great game last year, who would have thought that we could have two great football schools like Notre Dame and Miami in the Hyundai Sun Bowl,†Folmer said in a statement. “After waiting 77 years, the stars have finally lined up for us. I have spent 40 years as a volunteer and I would have never thought I would see the day that Notre Dame and Miami would play in the Sun Bowl.†The Sun Bowl will be the 24th meeting between the two schools, but first since 1990. Notre Dame leads the all-time series 15-7-1. It will be the first-ever bowl game matchup between the two teams. “We are thrilled about getting Notre Dame back to a bowl game, especially one with tradition like the Hyundai Sun Bowl,†said Irish head coach Brian Kelly in a statement. “Following our victory at USC, we internally targeted the Sun Bowl as a great game for us because of the national exposure the game receives and the top-notch opponent we will face in Miami. This game will serve as a perfect prelude to the three-game series we’ll experience in the coming years. We look forward to the great reception our school will receive in El Paso and experiencing the hospitality that has been a trademark of the Sun Bowl.†Notre Dame and Miami were set to renew their “Catholics vs. Convicts†rivalry in 2012 at Soldier Field in Chicago, but now it will come sooner. “The University of Notre Dame is proud to accept the offer from the Sun Bowl Committee and we eagerly anticipate our travels to El Paso,†said Jack Swarbrick, Notre Dame director of athletics, in a statement. “This bowl is rich in tradition and we look forward to contributing to it this year. Our fans will enjoy El Paso and our University is excited to immerse itself in the welcoming community. I want to congratulate Coach Kelly, our coaching staff and team, but especially our seniors on finishing the season in such a strong fashion to put us in position to play in this prestigious game.†Miami (7-5, 5-3 ACC) finished second in the Atlantic Coast Conference Coastal Division, and fired coach Randy Shannon after the season. Offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland will coach the Hurricanes in the Sun Bowl. “This is one of those situations where the history speaks for itself. We have two great programs that have incredible history and we are playing in the second oldest bowl on national television,†said Miami head coach Jeff Stoutland, in a statement. “The players will be excited. We’re playing Notre Dame, and these guys know the history behind them and the rivalry between these programs. This is their chance to be a part of one of the greatest rivalries in the game.â€

Not worth my time watching. But then, I wouldn't waste time watching ND play if they had a perfect record, were playing in the national championship game against another team with a perfect season. I'm kinda like Hank Hill when it comes to Notre Dame: When he heard that ND had lost a bowl game on New Year's Day he remarked, "Well, no matter what else happens this year, it's gonna be a good one."

Seriously you write Notre Dame(IN) like we were going to confuse it with Notre Dame in Paris suddenly fielding a NCAA team or something? We all know what Notre Dame is, they only use that with Miami(OH) so people don't get confused just off the name(notice that even Miami of Florida is usually just called Miami). Anyway I think this is a joke for the Sun Bowl, 77 years old and used to be a really Proud game. Now they are just taking two teams off their name and not off of a great seasons. I hope the weather is better then the one Pitt played in though.
